As my wife and I were watching tonight's game vs. SD, she affectionally called Fred Lewis, "Freddie Boom Boom Lewis" after he hit his triple. That brought back fond memories of "Welcome Back, Kotter" (yeah, I'm old).

Am I delusional or do you agree? And is it a stretch to imagine Aaron Rowand will look like Gabe Kaplan in about 7-10 years? Oooh Ooooh oooooo!

About as much as Pablo looks like Epstein or Larry Baer looks like Horshack.
