So my wifes best friend lives right next door to......

moxacaine · Dec 5, 2009

My wife tells me the other day that her best friend told her to tell me that she lives right next door to Frank Howard. I was like WHAT?!!!!! I need to talk to her to see if he is a nice guy and maybe get an auto or get a chance to meet him when we go to her house next weekend for a christmas party.

The guy is probably taller than the christmas tree. I know he was like 6ft 8in but i wonder how much he shrunk if any.

If it is snowing, he will be shorter
Water causes shrinkage

Completely off topic, but I thought the catcher's glove in that Fielder sketch card was a crying meatball

2 years ago i had the pleasure of meeting frank howard while i was in cooperstown for induction day weekend. While he isnt a hall of famer he was easily the most personable and fun former ball player to talk to. I go to induction day every year and have met most of the guys that are there but mr. howard took time to tell anyone who would listen stories of his playing days and was much more polite and friendly then many if not all of the other former players that were there. If you get to meet him you will hear some great stories and leave as a fan of his that much i can promise you. Oh and he is still a giant, im 6'4 and he towered over me and his hands were twice the size of mine.
