Bengie Molina Plans On Accepting A World Series Ring Regardless

One of the most interesting stories in this 2010 World Series is that of Bengie Molina. For those unaware, Molina started the season as the starting catcher for the San Francisco Giants. A month after the Giants finally got wise and called-up Buster Posey, Molina was traded to the Rangers where he became the starting catcher there (even hitting for the cycle once!) While Molina is now a Ranger, the question that remains is whether or not Bengie would accept a ring if he was on the losing team of the World Series? Would he accept a Giants ring? In his MLBlog, Behind The Mask, Bengie Molina addressed this unique situation.

It's amazing to think that no matter who wins, I'll have my second World Series ring. If this is my last year in baseball, what better ending than to have contributed to both teams in the World Series? I couldn't ask for anything more.

OK, I could ask for one more thing.

Another rush to the pitcher's mound, another stadium filled with flashing cameras and a scoreboard ablaze with the words, "World Series Champion Texas Rangers!''

Now who knows how feelings could change once the series has planned out, but it looks like as of now, Bengie Molina plans on accepting a Giants World Series ring. If he does do so, I would not blame him. He may not be on the Giants team now, but he did play a part in the season and helped Posey in his smooth transition to the bigs. I'm not sure if Ranger fans would feel the same way in regards to Milina, but this is a great way for Bengie to go out a winner regardless, should he choose to not comeback to baseball next season.

Fox Sports Has A Weird Way of Describing The Texas Rangers

Somehow the fact that the franchise (initially the Washington Senators) was founded in 1961 (49 years ago) and played their 1st season in Texas in 1972 (38 years ago) is not the most disturbing part of that headline.

More College World Series Regional Amazingness: 37-6!!!

Saturday night it was the 25 inning game. Last night, it was the epic blowout. And I mean epicly epic. The final score: Florida State 37, Ohio State 6. No typo exists in that scoreline. Here's a rather brief set of highlights (it's all I could find).



Just unbelieveable. And as far as Ohio State being on the receiving hand of that ass-whooping, all I can say is: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

And just to keep tabs with BC and Texas from last night, BC lost to Army in the afternoon game and in the late game from Austin that night, Texas beat Army to advance to the Super Regionals.
