Arthur Rhodes' earrings - BBC report from 10 years ago.
I randomly stumbled upon this report while searching the BBC archives. Thought it might bring back memories for some of you? I wonder if Rhodes ever did exact his revenge???

So how much did Rhodes earn that year?
That article didn’t say anything about his earnings, but Cot’s has his listed at $3MM for 2001. That’s enough to buy a lot of bling, if he’s the type of person who goes in for things like that.

I was at that game
I had no idea what was going on at the time, all i knew was that Omar was a little punk.
I was at the next game
that Rhodes appeared in. I was in the 200 level and could see the HUGE diamonds he was wearing the next time out.

Hood-ass quote from Rhodes:
“A little short hitter like him,” he said. “A little midget. I’m not worried about him. I’ll go right at him if I face him again. A buck 25. You think I’m scared of him?”

Wow, there's quite a few great lines in that article.
“The Mariners man became incensed and refused to budge.” (Arthur Rhodes: Mariners man)
“the two teams poured out of the dugouts as the crowd bayed for blood. "
“With the match over and having had some time to reflect on his behaviour, Rhodes came to the only logical conclusion… "
English articles on baseball are always hilariously poorly written.
A bit like all of my fanposts.

That's a readability thing. It's easier to digest small blocks of text on computer screens.
I write for Stumptown Footy, SB Nation's Portland Timbers blog.
