Well, he's not really awesome, but every time I see the "Ebay Bucks" thread, I see the words "Ellis Burks" for some reason. image

    I always thought his name spelled backwards was funny, Sille Skrub.

    I drafted him (late) on my fantasy team the year he blew up and went 40-30. Will always love him for that.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Brian Sabean gets a lot of crap for bad free agent signings and (one) bad trade. But, along with the schmidt and kent trades, the jim stoops for ellis burks deal was great.

    Big fan of Ellis Burks. Practically spent summer of '88 and '89 season at Fenway. Was wondering if I could find any mention of him on these forums, this was the only thread I found. Anyone happen to know is TTM address?

    This would be a fun thread to do. Players names backwards.

    Here is what StarTiger has. HOWEVER, it was listed in 2005 and to date only shows three attempts and all failed. I verified the addy on WhitePages.Com and it is the same. Good luck if you try. Let us know the result.

    Wow that's about an hour from my house. According to Google Maps that's a pretty huge house, so it could be the right address (or at least used to be).

    According to baseball reference he made $55.9 million. Would have been a HOF imo except for some bad knees.
