Chad Jones 2009 CWS...

I remember the Texas fans making fun of him on their message boards when he ran out. They stopped laughing when he started throwing strikes.

I was talking about that at the game last week, watching Hess it triggered my memory of the "Dreadlocks of Doom". He was a monster closer.

He's not doing great. A friend of mine works for the law firm representing him in his case against RTA for his accident

We wish him all the best and prayers for Chad.

Hoping Hess can channel his inner Chad Jones and bring the STINK!

Had dinner with Chads mother and his aunt at Rosenblatt the night of game 3. Nice people. Dreadlocks of doom

Upvote the chest bump; god he was fired up that inning

Hard to believe that was 8 years ago now....time flies when you're having fun.

Is Jones pinching Haydel's nipple?

Right after he left LSU he was living down the street from me in Lakeview. Id see his Rover with the chromes in the driveway. One day I was passing down the street and I saw his truck in his driveway all fricked up. I thought, "uh oh. That cant be good". Later on that day I turned on the news and heard what happened. He was later waived by the Giants and his pro career was over.

Really sad what happened to him. Im not sure he ever got to enjoy much of the fruits of his natural gifts.
