KNOWS NOT WHAT IT MEANS
As we've all suspected, Willie Bloomquist is apparently the heir apparent to ascend the Mark McLemore superutility role. That's a good bar to set, given Mark McLemore's stellar 2003 marks of .233, 2 HR, and 37 RBI. I think it just might be within Bloomquist's reach. If you want a more detailed post about Bloomquist, where I manage to rake both him and the entire South Kitsap area over the coals, refer to the latter third of this post.
Dave Andriesen refers to Willie Bloomquist in the article as "Port Orchard's favorite son." Technically, this probably isn't true because if daddy's a dentist, we can pretty much rule out the entire city limits of Port Orchard as being suitable for Casa de Bloomquist. If you've been to Port Orchard, you know this. Besides that, if there was any justice, Benji Olson would be the favorite son of Port Orchard. How could anyone forget about Benji Olson? He was on some great Husky teams, has started for five of his six years as a Tennessee Titan protecting Steve McNair, has gone to the playoffs four times, and has gone to a Super Bowl. In the two seasons that Willie Bloomquist has worn a Mariner uniform, the Mariners have failed to make the playoffs. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Three cheers for you, Benji Olson, the best South Kitsap athlete that I can remember at this moment. Chances are he probably remembers me when he was a 6th-grader at Burley-Glenwood Elementary school and I was a wee lad in AM kindergarten at the same school.
In conclusion, Benji Olson gets all the South Kitsap athlete props that a B-towner raised to hate South Kitsap like me can possibly give.
