Under The Bleachers

We were able to catch up with Detroit Tigers right fielder Magglio Ordonez after the marathon last night to ask him a few burning questions and to see if we couldn't find a way to touch his luxurious locks.

Lizzy: "Maggs! Thanks for making the time to speak with us. I'm sure you're exhausted."

Magglio Ordonez: "Magglio doesn't get tired."

Sooze: "First thing's first. You're batting .357 with 25 homers and 115 RBIs this season. How does it feel to be in the running with Ichiro Suzuki for the American League batting title?"

Magglio Ordonez: "It feels fabulous."

Sooze: "Kind of like your hair, I bet."

Magglio Ordonez: "My what?"

Sooze: "You heard me. Can I touch it?"

Magglio Ordonez: "Touch what?"

Sooze: "Your hair."

Magglio Ordonez: "No one touches Magglio's mane."

Sooze: "..."

Magglio Ordonez: "..."

Lizzy: "Awkward."

Magglio Ordonez: "Are we done here? Magglio has diffusing and defrizzing to do."

Sooze: "We actually just wanted to confirm one more thing."

Lizzy: "Yeah, you and your wife have 3 children. Magglio Jr., Sophia and... Maggliana?"

Magglio Ordonez: "That's right."

Sooze: "Seriously? Maggliana."

Magglio Ordonez: "Yes, it's a beautiful name. Magglio knows."

Lizzy: Told ya! You so owe me $20.

Sooze: "Damn it."

(Magglio Ordonez flips his hair as if in a shampoo commercial)

Lizzy: "That'll be all Princess Ordonez. Good luck to you, your 'do, and the Tigers the rest of the season."

Sooze: "I hope the Tigers miss the playoffs and all your hair falls out."

Lizzy: "Twins fan."

Magglio Ordonez: "Thanks, ladies. The pleasure was all Magglio's."
