China, Maine |
Northeastern '94 |
Nicknames: Shaq, The Man, The King of Field Two
Biggest Fans: When I show up, Tony Vinciguerra; Roger Ebert, the one my
parents put in the living room in the summer.
Arch Nemesis: Paul Cellucci, guys with speed.
Likes: going the other way, going from first to third on a base hit, Tom
Gordon's curveball, movies, walks along the beach, cuddling in front of
a fire.
Dislikes: Unhittable cheese, not tagging up, Steve Avery's new "arm
slot," mean people, Hanson.
Favorite Quotes: "I am the king of the world. I'm pretty. I'm a baaaad
man." -- Muhummad Ali.
"I am the proudest monkey." -- Dave Matthews.
Life-long goal: Hit a curveball, retain long-term employment, get funky
on the pitcher's mound at Fenway.
Miscellaneous: As he prepares for his second season, Lefferts wants to
prove once and for all his only weakness is his tendancy not to show up
for games. A player with all the tools -- a pillow-soft glove, a cannon
arm that needs to be licensed, and a swing so sweet it makes your teeth
hurt -- The Man is ready for a breakout year. Whether it was holding
down shortstop or coming in for relief work -- or not making an out
everytime up last year -- The King of Field Two allowed some of his
overflow magic to run over Field One last year. He brings power to the
plate, grace to the field, and a winning combination of wit and charm to
the locker room. With hopes of a favorable schedule bereft of Wednesday
games, Lefferts is preparing for an MVP season. When he isn't killing
opposing pitching, The Man enjoys The Simpsons, Maude reruns, and roller
coasters.
