Angry Octopus

Nellie's back! Fan favorite Chris Nelson is back in town, this time not with our Sky Sox, but with the Salt Lake Bees.

Chris Nelson celebrating Prostate Awareness Month in April of 2011.

It's been a long, strange year for Chris. Starting the season with the Rockies, traded to the Yankees, released by the Yankees and picked up by the Angels, and sent down to the Bees. And now, to top it off, season ticket holder Holly P. shouted out "Angry Octopus" at Nelson while he was coaching 1st base. A confused Chris just stared in disbelief. Everyone knows it "Awkward Octopus" and Holly had a lot of egg on her face. Nelson was so off-put that he's couldn't catch an infield practice ball thrown to him later in the game. Oh the humanity...

Hey! Throw it to me!

If Holly hadn't said, "Angry Octopus"
I would have caught this.

But one one hop!
That's 75 points!

See! Oh, you can't see, but there's a ball in my helmet.

I will hold it higher, but still in a position that you
will not be able to see what I have caught.

Thanks Chris! Hope you back up with the Angels soon.
