Who would his clients be? Jun 7, 2000 (The Sports Network via COMTEX) -- Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - John Rocker, who was optioned from the Atlanta Braves to Triple-A Richmond on Monday, has said he may quit baseball altogether rather than accept the demotion. Rocker told radio station WKLS-FM in Atlanta on Wednesday that he is upset about the way he has been treated by the Braves and that he may not report to Richmond at all. He also commented that he may leave baseball and become a stockbroker. The controversial closer refused to appear with Richmond for the second straight day on Wednesday and he has until Thursday to report to the Triple-A Braves. The Richmond Braves are at the Toledo Mud Hens on Thursday for the third game of a three-game series. Rocker had 38 saves last season, and he has 10 saves in 11 opportunities this year, but walked 25 batters in 18 1/3 innings with a 3.85 ERA. Rocker was involved in a confrontation with Sports Illustrated reporter Jeff Pearlman before the Atlanta Braves game versus the Yankees last Sunday. Atlanta manager Bobby Cox has denied that the demotion is not connected to Rocker's off-field antics, but rather his Rocker's fellow teammates are not happy with his outbursts, and outfielder Brian Jordan went as far as to call Rocker a "cancer." * end of story *

Might be a repeat ! Two Priests in Hawaii Two priests were going to Hawaii on vacation and decided that they would make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed, they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses etc. The next morning, they went to the beach, dressed in their "tourist" garb and were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a "drop dead gorgeous" blonde in a tiny bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. When she passed them, she smiled and said, "Good morning Father, good morning Father," nodding and addressing each of them individually, then passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she recognize them as priests? The next day they went back to the store, bought even more outrageous outfits---these were so loud, you could hear them before you even saw them-and again settled on the beach in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing a string bikini this time, came walking toward them again. (They were glad they had sunglasses, because their eyes were about to pop out of their heads.) Again, she approached them and greeted them individually, "Good morning Father, good morning Father," and started to walk away. One of the priests couldn't stand it and said, "Just a minute young lady. Yes, we are priests, and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did you know we are priests?" "Father, it's me, Sister Veronica!"
