latinrus · 10-25-10, 05:22 AM

Molina Brothers!

Ace_of_Spades · 10-25-10, 05:32 AM

Giants will win the series.

Ralphie1412 · 10-25-10, 03:34 PM

Molina gets a ring regardless of who wins.....

played 61 games for SF and 57 games for texas.

Pretty weird.

KENDRY · 10-26-10, 02:07 AM

He's lucky. thats awesome

thebestthereis · 10-26-10, 07:52 AM

so he doesn't need to hedge either

Regul8er · 10-26-10, 08:06 AM

Shows you how valuable a QUALITY receiver is in the MLB.

Boston should take notes that VMart won't get them to the next level.

thespeculator · 10-26-10, 08:15 AM

but he is going to help texas win it , i think he would enjoy that alot more

Sweet deal for Bengie, one of the best catchers of this decade.

"I just don't much like the thought (of playing the Giants in the World Series)," Molina said at Thursday's workout in Rangers Ballpark. "But we're both in good position, and if we get there, it'll be good. I just want to make sure we (the Rangers) get it done first before anything else.

"For sure it would assure me a World Series ring, and that would be a happy note if I was to retire."

"It feels really good to be seeing them do well," Molina said of the Giants. "I have a lot of family and friends there, guys who feel like family. These are guys I like and I care about. These are guys who will be friends for a long time, maybe forever.

"It was a good relationship. I was like a father figure for many of them."

i dont think he would accept a ring from san fran just because they're the team who beat his. as much as he would want to, he wouldnt do it

Mikail · 10-26-10, 11:08 PM

has this ever happened in baseball before?

tbond10 · 10-26-10, 11:13 PM

That's crazy....

good question. I texted my buddy that tonight and he said he would look into it. Im too ****** up right now to check but I highly doubt it. I know that a shitty front office ring of a no name is worst about 30k. An MJ or Shaq ring I have heard is 100k. I guarantee molina could sling the giants ring if he loses for a cool 50-75k. Or do you think he would automatically keep it? Pretty depressing to look at.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Molina would be only the second player to play in the World Series against a team he also played for that season, joining the Kansas City Royals' Lonnie Smith, who faced his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals, in the 1985 World Series.

He gets paid also, no matter who wins.

Thats the sick part.

World series bonus $$$$$$$$$$

zephyr · 10-26-10, 11:40 PM

He'll take the ring if the Giants win. It would be historic. Also, he was an important part of this Giants team. I have read that he did a lot to bring Lincecum and Cain along. He'd deserve the ring, and I'm sure the Giants would want him to have it. But I'm sure this isn't what he's wanting right now.

HenPrivilege · 10-27-10, 01:02 AM

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

"Big Money" was very good to the fans when he was around them.. There are many pricks in baseball.. even to children

MrZ · 10-27-10, 01:08 AM

Should be the same for Chris Ray

BRAVES1985 · 10-27-10, 07:19 AM

all 3 molina's with a ring

will2survive · 10-27-10, 11:05 AM

WOW! Bengie Molina receives a ring no matter what!!!

He played on San Fransisco earlier in the year.That's totally amazing.I'm sure that he'd rather have a Texas ring andhe's contributed.He was great against the Yankees.This guy is not in the best physical shape but I'm totally rooting for him and Josh Hamilton.Hamilton is a very humble man trying to fight addiction.I hope that he stays clean.He seems like a nice guy and is the best player in baseball EASILY

zephyr · 10-27-10, 11:13 AM

But does he get to go to Disneyland no matter who wins?

will2survive · 10-27-10, 11:30 AM

Wow...nobody thinks that this is a unique story? They just like to respond to people and their garbage quality threads--

will2survive · 10-27-10, 11:52 AM

ah...someone had the same story earlier...now I've got it

odtw524 · 10-27-10, 11:52 AM

Thats pretty awesome what a lucky guy?

Joszan7 · 10-27-10, 12:38 PM

Good for him, he deserves it.

fsugolf · 10-27-10, 12:51 PM

what a good spot to be in I guess, some guys never get the opportunity to PLAY for a ring, now he's guaranteed one

sportsfun · 10-27-10, 01:19 PM

nice for him.

Ralphie1412 · 10-27-10, 02:41 PM
