A friend of mine lives near John. He's told me several time over the past couple of years about how Valentin is a jerk because he lets his dog dump on other people's lawns and when they say something about he tells them to go and f*** themselves. What a pisser.

Seems he is as good a neighbor as he is a first baseman. He has been a complete nightmare at first so far. We need Mo to stay healthy.

I like John Valentin. He was a good RH pinch hitter with a little bit of pop in his bat. We let him walk and replaced him with Jay Bell, who has one double & 3 RBI's to date.

I am a Red Sox fan. I wish we kept John on our team. At least he would have left baseball loved. But you can keep Mo. We can't stand the diva types. I really always enjoyed watching John play. Miss him!

Of all the comments I've read/written about Mets players on this line, the most absurd has to be Mr. Sparkle's blurb about John and his dog (Al Leiter's passion for "Sanford and Son" is another). I don't doubt Mr. Sparkle's information, but I must admit it purely is "Ball Four" material. I can imagine the scene outside the Valentin household whenever this incident occurred. Pretty bizarre!

This classic tale probably would've been more legendary had the Mets acquired a healthy Valentin in '02. Unfortunately, he was pretty beat up due to injuries by thetime he joined the Amazin's.

Joe, what's absurd about a pro baseball player being a jerk? It's a true story from a very reliable source. Let me know if you want to speak to the source and I'll hook you up. I liked Valentin as a player I thought he was a good bench player but that doesn't make him a classy guy.

He was awesome when he played for the Red Sox. I think he got the shaft when he got hurt. He was definitely an asset his last 2 years he played for them! I wish I was his neighbor. I'm a Red Sox fan and definitely a fan of John! Where is he now??? He is cute!!
