Tiger has won 11 times and one major after 2009...still a pretty good career.

The biggest what if of his career, among many, is if he had signed with the Reds out of high school (I believe) how much he would have kicked arse with the Big Red Machine.

I played high school football and ran track with a guy named Bobby Braggs. Our senior year, he was All State in basketball and track. He also had tryouts with the Yankees and Astros after we'd graduated. He didn't get to play football that year because he got suspended during spring practice. Ran 9.9 hundred yards a bunch of times, and anchored all of our relays, even the 400.Was one of the state's leading rushers playing QB our junior year. He never made it to college, even though, I think, he had the talent to be an SEC RB.

Only six have more HRs than him, and half them used steroids.

Is he still in the pen?

As a Bama fan, Tyrone Prothro. I was at the game that he got hurt. He was electric and it is sad to think about what could have been.
