Lipso Nava Fan Club

Johnny Goodtimes (yes that is his real name), is the leader of a Quizzo bar game movement in Philly, PA. He is also a reporter who wrote an article titled "Down and Out in Lancaster" about the Camden Riversharks for the Philiapelphia City Paper. Mr. Goodtimes contacted me because after he interviewed and hung out with the team, he googled "Lipso Nava" because Lipso had made such a great impression on him.

Lo and behold, my site came up. Among other things, he told me that Lipso is called "the Living Legend" around the clubhouse and that many are convinced he would be a gold glover if he could just get a shot at playing in the majors.

The article talks about my favorite player quite a bit throughout the piece. In fact, right off the bat the article opens with this paragraph:

Lipso Nava has the best porn moustache in baseball. Catcher Travis Anderson informs me (and everyone else within earshot) of this fact shortly after I enter the clubhouse. "He's the Peter North of the Dominican Republic," the backstop says.

"He's from Venezuela," cries a voice in the back of the room.

"I know," shoots back Anderson. "I was trying to protect his identity."

Gotta love it. Makes me want to watch Major League in the worst way. The article itself is a good look at what life is like for minor league players. Enjoy.

One last thing. Johnny also said "If you decide to start a Lipso Nava fan club, count me in." I'm thinking of doing so. Anyone else out there interested in joining?
