When pitchers and catchers report to spring training, it's nothing short of pure boredom. But when Jack showed up, usually a day or two early, Pirate City shined with his youthfulness and love of the game. His defense on the field was second to none, as the Pirates endured losing seasons year after year. Through it all, Jack was a professional and played the game the way it was supposed to be played. I'm gonna miss him. Good luck Jack Flash.</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2988340764361252988-8644292748034519273?l=hornerfoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Hornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17076555984953664250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988340764361252988.post-90161913047707408332009-07-26T18:14:00.004-04:002009-07-26T18:28:08.991-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_itlUkNY2HLc/SmzWPth1sII/AAAAAAAAAAU/70Zj7MCGxu8/s1600-h/santonio_blog.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_itlUkNY2HLc/SmzWPth1sII/AAAAAAAAAAU/70Zj7MCGxu8/s400/santonio_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362896821699326082" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes, Super Bowl XLIII MVP</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" >(photographed July 1, 2009 Lake Buena Vista, Florida)<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" >© Christopher Horner</span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2988340764361252988-9016191304770740833?l=hornerfoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Hornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17076555984953664250noreply@blogger.com0
