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.
