re: Who is the Baw of all Baws in sports history?

Man John Rocker gives baws a bad name.

The real answer is Rod Beck.

At the end of his career he was down in the minors and lived in his Winnebago behind the center field wall, drinking beers with fans after the games.

“ "I thought I was only going to be down here [in Des Moines] two weeks, or three weeks, maybe," Beck said. "So I figured, rather than coming down here and getting an apartment with some furniture and paying the phone bill, I'd just take my own stuff. I called the people here and asked them about bringing the RV. They said `Sure, we'll find somewhere for you to put it.'"

Beck had started driving from his home in Scottsdale, Ariz., in the spring and got only as far as Amarillo, Texas, over a period of three days.

"I dropped a line fishing here and there," Beck explained.

He then summoned his brother to help him drive the rest of the way to Des Moines.

"My family [wife Stacey and two daughters] came up here for a week and lived in here with me," Beck said. "It's like going camping and playing baseball at the same time. What's better than that?"
