One is that he told folks he was nervous for his first official day in orange and blue.
And two, not even he figured he’d get anywhere near that $765 million deal he did get.
On the first score, if he had nerves, and he admitted to me he did, they didn’t show. He was spraying shots everywhere, punctuating a well-covered batting session that separated him from all the others with a bomb into the Garber Buick pavilion in right field.
