John Brattain

From Wiki Gonzalez

John Brattain is a baseball writer who leads BTF in rimshots. He is also the biggest boob not located under the nose of Jose Lima's wife. He has been on the staff of The Hardball Times since January, 2005 (What were they thinking?) as well as Sympatico/MSN Sports where he complains about the Toronto Blue Jays. He recently re-entered the blogosphere debuting The Progenitor of Severe Glutial Discomfort where he pays tribute to an old pain in the URL.

John also contributes to Replacement Level Yankees Weblog although nobody is exactly sure why since he is a fan of the Blue Jays and Expos (God rest their souls). Many feel that Larry Mahnken feels it's his civic duty to keep Brattain off the street and in front of his computer where he can do less damage following Mahnken reading a sign that said "Keep Canada Beautiful."

He also feels Lisa Gray's Dugout is one of the more underrated baseball blogs around--well worth a look.

Jon Daly always thought of Brattain as Dave Barry with a touque.

He also used to occasionally provide Primer with humorous top ten lists, though sadly he stopped doing that.

John may be the most self-deprecating of any Primate. He always tries to find the humor in a topic on any particular thread, however controversial it may be.

Brattain is a typical Canadian small-town boy who enjoys activities native to the species.
