Because he once played for the Madres' then-AAA affiliate Hawaii Islanders?

Fun fact: The Islanders' games were once called by none other than Al Michaels. His signature home run call: "Aloha. Means. Goodbye!"

Not-so-fun fact: The Islanders met their demise at the hands of fundie paradise Colorado Springs, where they are now the "Sky Sox".

Colorado Springs has one of the smallest stadiums in AAA. Not to mention the the highest and coldest.

That would really bum me out because I like to go to their games.
