Hernandez

Is that the real Keith Hernandez in The Boyfriend, or is there not such person?

I am in the UK and don't follow rounders.

Yes, that is the real Keith Hernandez. He played for the St Louis Cardinals and then later for the New York Mets (Jerry's favorite team). We call it baseball on this side of the pond. Although, I heard baseball was copied from rounders. Joe3k wrote in message ...

Hernandez is allegedly bi=sexual (it;'s not a secret ). There has been this speculation for year, ever since he entered baseball, and that knowledge was undoubtedly known to the writers.

When you watch "The Boyfriend" with that knowledge, it is even funnier, and I think it was quite brave of Hernandez to do the show!

Funny, I've never heard anything about this, and I've been a baseball fan for 20 years.

And I just did a web search and found nothing that remotely outs him.

I did find this though: http://www.foreskin.org/449males.htm

I guess Keith's has "no face, no personality."

You didnt look very hard! I found a lotta hits when i did a search!

I search altavista on "Keith Hernandez" and "gay" and found nothing.

Why don't you post some links?

Dave

Many many rumors that had existed *before* the Internet have been documented in some form *on* the Internet. There's no statue of limitations here. And you said, "Hernandez is allegedly bi=sexual (it;'s not a secret )".

So if it's not a secret, why is there *no* mention of it whatsoever *anywhere* online? Maybe it was only "not a secret" in NYC, and only known by people with no Internet connections?

I still think maybe you made it up, maybe because you have something against Hernandez, I don't know.

Since I don't believe the rumor existed, I don't believe there was anything to make his agreeing to do the show so daring.

No, I'm just a stickler for details. If you had replied to my initial request for information with a link to some sort of evidence (not evidence that he is gay, but that this rumor was as widespread as you made it out to be) then I would have agreed with you and the subject would have been dropped. You yourself even claimed, "I found a lotta hits when i did a search!"

So prove me wrong and earn an apology. Post the link to all these hits you found.

You couldn't have possible assumed more incorrectly if you had tried. Go ask alt.sports.baseball.ny-mets if I'm a Mets fan, they'll laugh you out of the newsgroup.

THE

There's at least one, the fact that you don't like it makes you stubborn and trying to wriggle out..

If I made it up, I guess the link I gave you originated from me. God ,what an idiotic remark.

SO

Same comment as above, I guess idiocy is its own reward.

I don't care about an apology and it is obvious that unless I produced a photo of him in flagrente delicto with another man, you aren't gonna believe it, As I said, it is a RUMOR, not documented fact.

Nope I am done finding hits, cuz I really don't care that much. I will tell you where you can find them (u have to hunt a bit), but there are several sites that list celebrities rumored to be gay (the one I gave you does not specialize specifically in gay celebs). But, I probably came across a half dozen lists that he was on-- try bisexual, thats where I got most of the hits

.

Last word on this, I am not trying to besmirch anyones' name here. I thought he was a great ballplayer and wish he had played in Chicago, that's all I really feel about Keith Hernanzdez. If he is gay, I really don't care (not that there's anything wrong with that). It is an old rumor and he was certainly aware of it when he made the appearance, and the show was clearly intended at least partly as an in-joke to those in on the rumor. In my opnion it was very gutty (and made the show that much more hilarious to me, because of that rumor). FWIW, the show also made me wonder whether that long-time rumor wasn't true.

What happened to "I found a lotta hits when i did a search!"?

Stubborn? Post the link to your 'lotta hits' and stop the madness!

It's a *submission* site. The only reference you were able to point me to was a submission from one person speculating that since he's "thin, neat and single", he could be gay. Is it idiotic to think that maybe you made the submission? Is that beyond the realm of possibility? No.

I'm disappointed that you had to resort to personal insults.

No, I don't need photos, just some sort of substantive information that shows this rumor to be as widespread, and as easy to find information on, as you claimed.

You obviously missed a portion of my previous post, let me cut/paste it for you.

(not evidence that he is gay, but that this rumor was as widespread as you made it out to be)

There are no other hits. But since you've carried this so far, you're ashamed to admit it.

Why would you make it so intentionally difficult for me?

<exasperated>

Fine.

I did a search on "Keith Hernandez" and "bisexual" and found only this:

Ahhh, "WWRD". That's all the craze with the kids today, more so even than "What Would Maverick Do"...

LOL (silly kids!)

Good one! Very clever!

Suggest you read the FAQs to the site-- they are not just a submission site-- they verify that a rumor at least exists. But, if you really believe that I submitted the idea to them just to appease you, you really do need to get a life. If u want to harass me further, I just will not read your submissions, that's all.

"I found a lotta hits when i did a search!"

Liar.
