@hambone1063 And parlayed that into access to Denver's excellent school system

¡EMPIEZAN SU CAMINO! 🤩 El Cibao y las @Chivas volverán a encontrarse en la primera ronda de la Concachampions 2025 y disputarán el primer juego en República Dominicana. 🤭 No te puedes perder este partido. 😮‍💨 #ConcaChampions #Chivas #Cibao

@hambone1063 God the best part of this is you can hear "Who let the dogs out" in the background. What a time to be a 2000's kid

@hambone1063 It was a blow out. Such a fun night at Shea.

@hambone1063 And then he left NYC 🗽 because Denver - checks notes - supposedly had better schools… 🤦‍♂️ 🙄 Hampton could have been a NYC legend. Instead he chose to be a footnote.

@hambone1063 But... Hampton didn't hit anybody after Roids Rocket Roger threw the bat at @mikepiazza31.

@hambone1063 I didn’t know I needed to hear ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’, today, but I did. So, thank you.

@hambone1063 Was in the last row of the upper deck. Could literally feel / see the stadium shaking. Amazing night!

@hambone1063 Always loved the way Timo caught that ball on the bounce

@hambone1063 Black unis

@hambone1063 Let’s do it again in 2024!

@hambone1063 Man we could sure use him on this team!!

@hambone1063 I try to forget that the song for the Mets that year was Who Let The Dogs Out. That was an interesting era

@hambone1063 Feel like you could see it in Mike Hampton’s face he knew wasn’t pitching for NY after that year.

@hambone1063 He should've pitched game 1 on his regular rest. got bombed in game 2 of the WS, we never had a chance.

@hambone1063 And then he bolted for the Rockies

@hambone1063 If the compensatory draft pick didn't end up being David Wright, that trade would've been a massive "L" for us. Dotel was filthy with Houston while Benitez was stinking up the joint. And Roger Cedeno hadn't discovered the all you can eat buffet yet. Thank God Hampton left.

@hambone1063 Via him we got the compensatory pick that came to be David Wright.

@hambone1063 Then went to a state with a better school system

@hambone1063 And then fucks off for amazing schools in Colorado. Forget this schlub

@hambone1063

@hambone1063 surprised Timo didn't drop the ball. I will never forgive him for Game 1 of the World Series.

@hambone1063 Then Hampton screwed the Mets and signed with Colorado where he was never heard from again.

@hambone1063 I remember this game I was working at the Redondo Beach Gold's Gym Place was co-owned by the local police chief and local mafioso Good times

@hambone1063 Was there sat in a box with Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. They were a nightmare. Tim got his WS tickets handed to him in the 4th inning.

@hambone1063 Mike you should have stayed. 31 years on that day prior?.

@hambone1063 Eek… just read his posts on his twitter. He can stay the fuck away.

@hambone1063 Mike Bordick was a bum.

@hambone1063 But what’s around the corner? Losing to the Yankees!
