Chris Coddington

You're a strange one, Mr. Fluke.
You really do like GWAR.
You're also known as Codfish,
You thrill to drive you car.
Mr. Fluke ....
You're a tough competer Who likes to raise the bar.
You're a pitcher, Mr. Fluke.
Your throws can hit the chair.
Your brain is full of sliders,
You've got a scary glare.
Mr. Fluke .....
I wouldn't temp you, with even the slightest, least risky dare.
You're a fielder, Mr. Fluke.
You always scale the wall.
You have the best reflexes,
You you never drop the ball.
Mr. Fluke ....
Given the choice between drop or bobble The ball will never fall.
You're a player, Mr. Fluke.
You whistle like the finches.
Your idol is Brett Favre,
You give the girl's all pinches.
Mr. Fluke ....
The three words that best describe you, are, and I quote: "Missing. Two. Inches."
You're a hitter, Mr. Fluke.
You really go on tears.
You hit a cell phone homer,
You've got satellite dish ears.
Mr. Fluke ....
Your attempt at owning the home run record was an ill-fated but inspiring dream overflowing with the most interesting assortment of collected anecdotes imaginable, blended up in mended up spots.
You intrigue me, Mr. Fluke.
Godsmack tatoo on your back.
You're a Never Ending Story,
Who lasts one minute in the sack.
Mr. Fluke ....
You're a long-legged, short-tempered and white bro who kicked our ass.

Batter of the Year - Chris Coddington might have lost the home run title by one, and DiCesare may have won the Triple Crown with his 84 homer 246 RBI .740 average performance, but 'The Fluke' was the Batter of the year. It was Coddington, who led the league in hits (252) and singles (153) and finished runner-up in everything else, who pushed the envelope. His HR pace at the mid-season break was an unheard of 94, and while he faded down the stretch under the intense pressure of trying to unseat the perennial champion, he proved that anything was possible if one simply chose to believe it. The player ridiculed by his former wife for his 'missing two inches' may have fallen to the player who posed comfortably in the buff, but it was the energy and passion of 'the Fluke' that stole the show in 2000. Coddington's one-handed 'cell phone' home run off of relief specialist Mike Lewis represented the Fluke's millenium season in a nutshell. Like Brian Gordon before him ... Ze Fluke could do it all.  
 
Pitcher of the Year - Chris Coddington not only almost unseated DiCesare as the league's top slugger, but he also ended Alan Lewis' reign as the dominant pitcher in the game. The Fluke recorded an impressive 8 victories - five more than any other hurler - and set new single season league marks for KO's with 114 (the first pitcher over the century mark) and 42 shutout innings. Coddington would play well in parts of other seasons, including being named MVP of the 2002 World Series, but 2000 would be the year he stole ... or rather ... earned ... everything. Fluke's 2.53 IRA led the league, easily outdistancing Kerry Lyon's 2.99 mark. But as the season came to a close, Lyon was on the prowl. And in 2001, he would be stalking a Cy Young Award of his own.

In what could only be described as a 'fluke' occurence (heh ... a pun), The Grinch Who Stole Christmas purloined the hearts of more movie goers than any other big screen production in 2000.
