McGraw was given the nickname Tug by his mother, because he used to tug when she breast-fed him.

He is also the Met that coined the phrase "you gotta believe" during the 1973 pennant race.

Your my hero......NOT. I love your pic of Iraq info minister, that didnt get old to you a few months ago like it did to the rest of the world?

Nope, still makes me laugh whenver I look at it. It reminds me of how delusional Knight fans can get when everybody else sees them as a joke. By the way you got all defensive over my last post it's obvious you can't take a joke though. Lighten up bud, it's going to be alright
