Trivia[edit]

I don't see the need to mention that he vomited in the pen. It would be embarrising to him if he were find out that such a trivial fact was written in his wikipedia page. Deletion is going to happen. Now.

Should "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" be mentioned here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anominalmouse (talk • contribs) 02:49, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would be nice to have that in a "cultural references" section. Coupdeforce (talk) 05:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

theme song[edit]

Hey KV, they haven't played Queen in over a year. ccwaters (talk) 18:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That may be, but the sarcastic edit summary is begging for a revert. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 19:09, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

? Its a good faith edit, regardless of my opinions expressed in the edit summary. I'd also remove the sentence regarding the "flash followers". I don't remember ever seeing them, even in the half season that he didn't suck. I doubt its verifiable anyway. ccwaters (talk) 19:17, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh... and sorry for reverting it back: I actually saw it back on the page and thought I forgot to hit "save page". ccwaters (talk) 19:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
