| 13th May, 2008 - 10:22 am | ESPN - Hall of Famer Goose Gossage doesn't believe there is room for the antics of Joba Chamberlain in Major League Baseball, according to ESPN.com.
"There's no place for it in the game," Gossage told reporters Monday during a tour of the Hall of Fame, according to MLB.com. "I will stand by that and I love Joba Chamberlain. I'm with him down in Spring Training. He's a great kid, but no one is passing the torch today. Nobody talks to them. When I broke into the big leagues, I didn't say two words all year."
The Yankees young reliever is known for showing his emotions on the mound after striking out a batter.
"That's who he is. He's not showing anyone up. He's going to show emotion," Girardi said last Thursday of an incident where Indians outfielder David Dellucci took offense to Joba's antics. "He didn't look at Dellucci. He looked into our dugout."
"That's just not the Yankee way, what Joba did. Let everyone else do that stuff, but not a Yankee," Gossage told the Record on Saturday. "What I don't understand is, the kid's got the greatest mentor in the world in Mariano [Rivera]. He's one of the leaders of the team, so you'd think it wouldn't happen on that team." [READ] |
