So where's the tribute?

The Marlins are in town. Perfect opportunity to reveal the Jeff Mathis statue in front of the stadium, retire #5 (have Pujols hand the jersey to Mathis) and have Scioscia give a tearful speech about all that Jeffy meant to the organization.

 

A golden opportunity missed. Even Jeter got a surfboard.

perhaps they could give Mathis the Mike Napoli award........

Remember he actually got hits vs. the Yankees? It was the REVERSE SLUMP.

You know how Tony Gwynn or Rod Carew or George Brett would go cold for about 2 -3 games? Then pick up their hitting?

Mathis was the reverse. He sucked for 130 games, caught fire that year in the playoffs...then dropped off to his usual .203

Mathis was a important part of our three division championships from 07-09 ... if you can't appreciate that then you have no understanding of the game.
