There are people Americans root for. A.C. Slater. Steve, the security guard from "Jerry Springer." Bear Grylls. But above all, one man stands alone. His name is Sal Fasano. His moustache stands for freedom. And boy, do we love freedom in this here land. Back in April, the Blue Jays brought Fasano up from Triple-A Syracuse to fill in for injured catcher Gregg Zaun. But now, only a month and half later, Sal has been designated for assignment. In 10 days, Sal could be out of our collective baseball consciousness for good. Maybe he'll hook on with another team. Maybe.
We can only hope.
For a man that made our lives a little more complete, I salute you Sal Fasano. If things don't work out, you will surely be missed.

Maybe the Yankees will pick him up again. They like guys with a lot of heart, and Fasano has lots. Not much of a hitter, but a darn good catcher.

The dream that is Sal Fasano representing the AL in the 2007 All Star game is alive and well. Do you honestly think the whole "designated for assignment" thing scares off any of us? Well it doesn't. We will continue to vote every minute of every day.
Nothing can stop us! Vive Le Sal!

If his averages were based on what a pill or a shot could do for him, he'd be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Just hard work, love of the game and someone who always has enjoyed people, all people.
Smarts don't count, character doesn't count, morals don't count, repect for the fans don't seem to matter either. He is a hero, a survivor.
Sorry, I'm just amazed at the stupidity
