Seeing as how Huston Street isn't able to pitch right now thanks to his right elbow, he's got a lot of extra time on his hands. On Thursday night he used all that free time to sit in with Glen Kuiper and Ray Fosse in the broadcast booth during Oakland's 3-2 victory over the Mariners.Street spent about four innings in the booth, and it was quite entertaining. In fact, I recommend FSN Bay Area gets him up there more often. Huston shared a lot of anecdotes and stories about his personal life, including how he proposed to his girlfriend.
The man bought her 1,500 roses. Not fifteen, not fifteen dozen, not even 150. One thousand five hundred roses. That's a lot of damn roses. Street did go on to say that he got sick of having them around the house all the time because of the smell, but said his fiance wouldn't throw them out. She'd get rid of them as they died, but when they were all dead, she made him clean them up.
Ah, married life.
To learn some of the other things Huston shared, follow me after the jump.
