Jay Buhner, nicknamed 'Bone', plays for the
Seattle Mariners baseball club. He played 32 games with the
New York Yankees before becoming one of
Seattle's best loved players in
1988. During the
2000 season he hit his 300th
homerun, an event I was happily present for. He was also the first
Seattle Mariner to
hit for the cycle (during the
1996 season).
Jay Buhner is well known in Seattle for his shaved head. As a promotion, the Seattle Mariners instated "Buhner Buzz Night" where anyone with a shaved head was admitted for free. In 1996, 3000 people took advantage of the night, including a 72 year-old woman.
In my opinion, Jay Buhner is a great baseball player and a really nice guy in a sport that always seems to be lacking them.
