Goobye, Sweet Prince- Hank White 2005-2008

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

I can still remember sitting in a shitty college apartment, taking bong rips, listening to a bunch of middle school kids call me a faggot in a Halo 2 lobby, and watching the Cubs play the D'backs on a second TV. I happened to quiet a violent coughing fit long enough to overhear Len give an on-air shoutout to the Hank White Fan Club after Hank's second inning dong. Next day I hit the Google machine to see what it was all about.

That was nine and a half years ago. I've wasted a lot of hours since then, and some of those hours were here. But many more hours I've spent here were anything but wasted. You guys are good people and I probably wouldn't know any of you if it weren't for the Hank White Fan Club.

Thanks, Hank. Thanks, Andy. Thanks, Internet.

Edit: Thanks, Brown Spot Bob.

Thank god you didn't cough too hard to not hear Len.

I was going to say....not sure which passage of time strikes me the most--that it's been 6 years since the  end of that run or that next Spring it'll have been a decade from when it began. 

Also, going back and reading that stuff is awesome. Funnier than I remember.  Something something fine wine.  I think Andy has good cause to fire that shit up again.

That's like an internship for coaches. They have to do all the bitch work and support that coaching staff while learning on the job. I bet it beats busing around the minors. It may be more a fast-track for Hank than it would be for most, because people have been talking about him as managerial material for quite some time.

Then he got that spring break forearm tattoo. Now he's never gonna get hired.

Is it a meme that Pen always seems eager to not understand things? Because I feel like it should be.

Necrobump. Good job, Hank. Quality was assured this season. Maybe David Ross can stay around as Assistant QA Coach.

Glad it's not time to say goobye to Hank quite yet.
