Drew Henson hired as Yankees minor league hitting coach.

Man I wish he would have returned for his SR year. What could have been.

No kidding.

How come when people talk about flops he's never mentioned?

If you really wanted to talk about a guy that never reached his potential, here's the guy.

He was supposed to be either a Major Leaguer or a NFL QB and he ended up being neither.

Too bad.

I go through Pinckney all the time. I had never even heard of it before Henson. Wonder where he grew up?

$teinbrenner's fault. Bastard.
ps: Brighton High School.

This is the common theory that is floated around. Steinbrener being from Ohio and all.

I guess, without being a stalker, I really meant WHERE? lol

I do a lot of business in Brighton.

Didn't injuries hold him back in regards to making it big in The Show?

I may be completely wrong...but I thought that's what it was.

Then he tried that brief stint with the Cowboys....yikes.

Professionally, yes, he was a flop.

But still to this day he's probably one of the best QB's to ever don the winged helmet (granted he had some serious help...A-Train, David Terrell, etc.).

What's really funny is the kid couldn't hit a curve-ball, now he is the Yankees hitting Coach. Good thing that I hate the Yankees, they won't be able to hit water if they fell off of a boat in a few years.

***MINOR LEAGUE hitting coach. Still a nice gig...

Not a flop in the NFL since he wasn't drafted. Not many MLB flops because most never get out of the minor leagues. Nope, he's not a flop, just should have concentrated on one sport, would have probably excelled at that sport. Bottom line is, he's one of he vey few men to have played in the NFL and MLB, and that's no flop.

Henson is a puss. End of story. Should have stuck with football, but the money called and he answered. Oh, and also, he didnt like lifting weights and running. Puss.

Yeah, because everyone would pass up the millions of guaranteed money to keep playing their 2nd favorite sport for free. Stupid.

I said the money called and he answered. I also said he should have stuck with football. STUPID.

AND HE IS STILL A PUSS!!!!!!!

Baseball problem was major league curves, he couldn't handle them.

Trouble with the Curve: staring Drew Henson.

Underrated movie FWIW. Eastwood is the man.

I grew up in a town near Brighton so I know a lot of people who knew him. One of them is a Yankees fan so after I found out that juicy little tid-bit of information I posted "You do know that drew Henson was just hired to be the Yankees Minor league hitting coach. There go your beloved Yankees, pretty soon they won't be able to hit a curve-ball either..." to which he replied, "That's funny!"

Ha, the first line is hilarious.

Second line is true. I liked that flick quite a bit.

Although, I must admit, the Clint Eastwood-I'm an asshole-character is getting a bit old. He's basically the same character in every movie now.

It will never get old.
