2/10: Well, I know that I have been neglecting this update page for a while, and i'm sure most of you are aware of this by now, but Rex Hudler will be the color commentator for KCAL9 AND Fox Sports West!! He will be joining Steve Physioc in the announcer's booth, replacing both Jerry Reuss and Sparky Anderson, and I don't know about you, but i CAN'T WAIT! He will bring so much enthusiasm and spirit to the broadcasts, finally an adequate replacement to Ken & Ken.

10/19: Rex has signed a one year contract with Fox Sports West. He is currently covering the World Series, although I haven't seen him yet. I know he's doing a great job, this job totally fits him!!!

7/16: It is with great regret that I announce that the Wonderdog, the man that IS baseball, has retired. His energy will continue on in the baseball fans that he touched. I will miss watching him play the game as it should be played, for the love of the game!

7/10: As i'm sure many of you already know, my page has been neglected these past few months, as i was in the process of a move. This is my first update in a while, and i knew EXACTLY what i wanted to update. The release of the Wonderdog. The Phillies (can't say i blame them, he was batting .121) released him and he was promptly picked up by the Indians. I'm ecstatic that he's back in the AL where i can hopefully see him play. I miss the spunk, i miss the enthusiasm, i miss the LOVE of baseball that Rex epitomises. Ok, enough gushing, here's what a professional sportswriter had to say (just click on the Wonderdog pic):

Rex Hudler is one of my two all time favorite players, J.T. Snow being the other one. When I bought my Angels' jersey I had Hudler 10 put on the back because I believe Rex is an awesome example of what is right with baseball. His spirit and spunk have livened so many games for me and he has brought baseball to a whole new level for me. So, I in turn present you with the stats for my favorite player; Rex "Wonder Dog" Hudler......ENJOY!
