Nick Swisher Appreciation Thread

As I tried to digest today's 500+ post Swisher Trade thread, it occurred to me that many of us were reacting as much to the loss of Swisher-the-Personality as to Swisher-the-Ballplayer.  I'm pretty sure we'd get a "strong plurality" in ANy AN caucus that he's a terrific guy and a very lively presence.

Accordingly, I'm hoping it may help purge the trade grief to post in this diary -- an opportunity to recall his impact on you, your family or friends, on the current team, and
on the franchise.  Great plays, special moments, meetings, photos, sound bites, video, etc. etc.    

For instance, there's this great farewell pic, used without permission from LawDaddy (so sue me):

Who knows, maybe Blez can figure a way to make certain he gets a copy of it (so post no phone numbers, pls -- I'm looking at YOU, Batgirl).  Someone might also volunteer to warn him about Jennifer's basement, now practically in his neighborhood.  

Fire away, A's Nation!
