So Long (Island), Mr. Rocker
John Rocker, New York hardly knew ye. (But what they knew about you and your xenophobia, they didn't much like.) The Long Island Ducks released the 30-year-old Rocker today after he'd walked 28 in 18 innings -- reminding me of the wild year I covered him in Danville, Va.
Rocker, of course, made some offensive comments about 7-train passengers in NYC many years ago, when he still had a decent left arm.
