Cool fact for Baseball fans on IWF.

Don't know if I ever mention this but I'm not way into baseball so I was suprised to find out my teacher I had about 3 years ago was actually a semi-famous during his time in the MLB (I found out while he was my teacher). His name was Chad Curtis. I was suprised cuase you never would have guessed guess he was just such a laid back cool guy, but he did let me wear his New York Yankee's Championship ring >.< It was awesome, even though it was only like 2 seconds.

Just thought you guys might get a kick outta that.

lol it sounds like he was a dick... didn't want to talk to reporters and confronted Jeter bout his religion??? LOL still pretty cool imo

Idk how he was when he played but he was wayyyy modest when I had him as a teacher like I would have never guessed he held a championship ring and he did hit a game winning home run. in the finals of the world series which I guess is a big accomplishment.

lmao, I remember him from Triple Play 2000.

He is best known for hitting a walk-off home run in Game 3 of the 1999 World Series against the Atlanta Braves

I remember this. Curtis hit the homer off of Mike Remlinger. I was a big Braves fan at the time

Now he's working as a teacher? Did Chad blow all his money or something?

No idea I had him my entire freshman year as I took both Phys Ed courses and then durin my Somphmore year he go laid off cuase they had to let a phys ed teacher go and the other one had just taken the football team to state and won. So after that no idea what happened but I always thought it was cool. And from what I heard he was willing to work for way less money so I think it might actually be becuase he ienjoyed teaching. Plus that ring he let me wear had to be worth alot lozl.
