Ian Snell (at the time known as Ian Oquendo) was part of an autograph signing as a Carolina league all star - a band was performing nearby and after the band randomly bantered for awhile, Ian said something to the effect of "That's so f*#&ing stupid!!!"Paul B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13845334936276231363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-7318871577393114962007-05-15T23:33:00.000-04:002007-05-15T23:33:00.000-04:00He's from Dover...

Only 30,000 people, but very high crime and nothing at all to do except the beach over an hour away....and not Rehoboth Beach, unless he's gay. Try Dewey Beach just south of Rehoboth. This is one of those downtowns that is all but dead with the wonderful urban sprawl on the edge of town. The only real thing going for Dover in my opinion is the NASCAR races each June and September.JREwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702469148854857742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-16626552754946166992006-10-11T17:22:00.000-04:002006-10-11T17:22:00.000-04:00what's it like in his part of deleware?what's it like in his part of deleware?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-32635472779182826442006-10-05T17:14:00.000-04:002006-10-05T17:14:00.000-04:00Being a native of the Glorious First State (Home o...Being a native of the Glorious First State (Home of Tax Free Shopping) I can understand that Snell might be a bit prejudiced about the Big City life. However, knowing where Snell is from in Delaware, I am not so sure he should be throwing those stones.<br /><br />Interesting tidbit - Dave Williams (also a Delawarean) and his father recommended Snell to the Pirate scout that signed Williams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-16519254598667497842006-10-04T10:37:00.000-04:002006-10-04T10:37:00.000-04:00... and Dogfish Head Brewing and Eats.... and Dogfish Head Brewing and Eats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-63542044122795829012006-10-04T10:18:00.000-04:002006-10-04T10:18:00.000-04:00Make fun of Delaware all you want (i.e. WAYNE'S WO...Make fun of Delaware all you want (i.e. WAYNE'S WORLD - "We're in.....Delaware.").<br /><br />However, it has great proximity to NYC and DC, plus it has one key feature that Pittsburgh could never have: THE BEACH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-4979743362778691272006-10-04T03:24:00.000-04:002006-10-04T03:24:00.000-04:00Do you blame him?
