Who on earth is Bucky  Jacobsen?

He is actually a great story.  He will probably play first base for  the 
Mariners for the rest of the year now that they let Olerud go.  But  aside from 
that, he is a long-time minor leaguer (7 years I think) and huge fan  favorite.  
He was well known for hanging around after games to talk  and mingle with 
fans, and some fans started a website to track his progress  called 
buckybackers.com (its still up).  He started his career in Kane  County.
 
>From a baseball perspective, he is supposed to be a Dave Kingman  type.  He's 
got huge power, has won some minor league home run contests,  has hit a 
couple a mammoth shots, and is generally a strong guy.  He's  never made it to the 
show because I think he could never put it all together,  but now he has his 
shot.
 
He should be fun to watch the rest of the year.
