More Articles Home David Wells' Perfect Game by Harvey Frommer "Perfect I'm Not! Boomer on Beer, Brawls, Backaches & Baseball" is the name of the new book by portly and pugnacious Yankee hurler David Wells.
He claims in the book that he was "half drunk" when he pitched a perfect game in 1998. Now he backs away from the "half drunk" commentary and claims he was hung over. This first and perhaps last literary effort by Wells is an embarrassment to all.
Part of the title of the book comes from the great game he pitched in 1998. Back then unlike now - - he was "perfect."
Going into the game on May 17, 1998, the season had been a checkered one for the burly flake David Lee Wells out of Torrance, California. He took the mound with a 5.23 ERA. Consistency was his problem, some said inconsistency.
Wells marched always to his own drummer, one game wearing an actual Babe Ruth hat on the mound before he was told by manager Joe Torre to take it off. In a start on May 6 in Texas, he had been lifted by Torre. Wells not too tactfully flipped the ball to his miffed manager as he left the mound.
On this 17th day of May, three days shy of his 35th birthday, Wells took the mound on a Sunday against the Minnesota Twins. He was locked in right from the start. Between innings, he sat next to David Cone who was a calming influence.

Wells has seen it all in baseball and sometimes screams about it
June 9, 2004 What Wells remembered saying is not what we remembered hearing, but neither phrase is appropriate for publication. Such a mouth. Such a maniac. Such a master. "It was just a close pitch," Wells said in the wake of the Padres' 1-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox last night. "I thought it was a strike (and) I'm going to voice my opinion. I'm going to try not to show (umpires) up, but you get caught up in the moment." The Padres signed Wells because he can get caught up in the moment without losing sight of the mission. He returned from a three-week layoff following his unscheduled bout with broken glass and pitched with pluck and precision. "I really was surprised because after three weeks of not pitching, he came out like he hadn't missed a start," said Padres catcher Ramon Hernandez. "He came out and dominated pretty good." If the Padres are to remain pennant contenders, they need someone who will take the ball in stressful situations without giving it a white-knuckle grip. They will need someone who can be matched against a Pedro Martinez or a Randy Johnson or a Roger Clemens without cowering in the corner.

ephedra shocker Says drug is to blame for heart scare in '96 By ANTHONY McCARRON
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Ephedra user David Wells opposes ban on stimulant. TAMPA - The heart palpitations started on a Sunday night in March of 1996 as David Wells sat in his hotel room after a day of spring training workouts with the Orioles. When Wells arrived at Fort Lauderdale Stadium for work the next morning, his heart was still speeding. By that afternoon, Wells was admitted to Holy Cross Hospital, intravenous tubes in his arms, his heart pounding and his mind racing. At one point, doctors measured his heartbeat at nearly 200 beats per minute. Wells had an irregular heartbeat, the doctors told him, and they recommended stopping his heart, then starting it again by shocking it with a defibrillator. "They put me out for two minutes and shocked my heart to get a regular beat again," Wells said.

AL East Preview
By BILL MADDEN Jason Varitek of the world champion Boston Red Sox hopes to let his play do the talking this season. (Illustration by Ed Murawinski) Now it's on to the next 86 years. The curse-breaking celebrations in Boston will linger for another couple of weeks, until the world championship pennant is hoisted at Fenway Park and the Red Sox conduct their ring ceremony at the expense of the Yankees' pride. But as the Sox will soon find out, baseball is a "what have you done for us lately" business, especially in Boston, and the real challenge is repeating. Despite the defection of Pedro Martinez to the Mets, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein hopes he's made significant enough upgrades elsewhere — David Wells over Derek Lowe at the back of the rotation, Edgar Renteria over Orlando Cabrera at shortstop, Jay Payton over Gabe Kapler as the fourth outfielder — to keep a leg up on the Evil Empire. The biggest questions about the Red Sox are likely to be answered by the All-Star break, like whether free agent Matt Clement, cast off by three teams already, is really a big-time top-of-the-rotation pitcher (a la Pedro, the man he is replacing), and whether Wade Miller will justify their gamble on him and recover sufficiently from rotator cuff surgery to regain the form that made him a 16-game winner in 2001. There are also renewed physical questions regarding Curt Schilling, who missed much of the spring and struggled when he did pitch. Through all the questions, though, the Red Sox lost none of their championship chirp.

FOR BASEBALL FANS, HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN "It's the most wonderful time of the year." For baseball fans, it ain't about Christmas. For them, that line means they'll soon hear the sweetest of all words: "Play ball!"
Despite the problems of late - the financial turmoil, the inflated salaries and egos of the players (not to mention the inflated cost of a dog and a beer) - the plethora of titles regarding baseball would indicate the game is still healthy at the bookstore. Just because it's a cliché doesn't mean it's not appropriate: baseball is more than just a game. It includes numerous aspects of everyday life such as economics, world affairs, sociology, history, literature and art, all of which, not coincidentally, are among the topics of new releases.
One of the newest releases that has generated a good deal of controversy and discussion is PERFECT I'M NOT by David Wells, a pitcher for the New York Yankees. Maybe it's the New York factor, but everything seems to be a little larger than life here.

      Few might be interested in Wells's Harley-riding, heavy-metal lifestyle if he didn't also bear down so hard when it's time to pitch: besides the World Series and other big-time games he's pitched over the years, Boomer threw a perfect game in the spring of 1998, the 14th man ever to achieve that feat. This book mixes Wells's outsized personality with his considerable mound accomplishments.

    Nobody's Perfect "During the Samuel Johnson days they had big men enjoying small talk; today we have small men enjoying big talk."
    A book for jocks or wanna' be jocks who last read a book in the eighth grade, something for a book report, perhaps an illustrated classic . If this book is brutally honest, if Wells is "baseball's most beloved badass", I'm beginning to understand the demise of the sport and the lag in ticket sales. Wells' book deserves to be on the New York Times Bestseller list, right along with Danielle Steele. The romance he has with baseball and stardom, combined with a life story that reads like pulp fiction, may sell millions of copies. Wells is the quintessential pop sports icon a brawling, abusive, chauvinistic whiner. He'll make a bundle from this book because it reads like all the other psychobabble self-awareness autobiographies flooding the market. I was in pain, so I had to take drugs so I could fulfill my lifelong dream of making millions of dollars playing baseball. I was helpless to my painkiller addiction. Taking painkillers also allowed me to misbehave outrageously and now I must be excused for my raucous behavior. I didn't mean it, guys, even though I had a hell of a good time and hurt a lot of people in the process but since I did it, I will write a book about it and cash in on it.

    David Wells. (Photo PC) Vendredi 15 juillet 2005 - (RDS) - Le lanceur des Red Sox de Boston David Wells s'est vu imposer une suspension de six matchs par le baseball majeur pour être entré en contact avec les officiels Chris Guccione et Angel Hernandez lors d'un match contre les Blue Jays de Toronto plus tôt en juillet.
    Wells avait été expulsé du match du 2 juillet en septième manche par Guccione. Le gaucher a tourné le dos au marbre et a apparemment posé un geste de dégoût après avoir accordé un simple à Shea Hillenbrand.
    Après avoir été chassé du match, Wells s'est dirigé vers Guccione et les deux hommes se sont engueulés avant d'être séparés.
    Wells devait amorcer le match de vendredi contre les Yankees de New York. On ne sait toutefois pas si Wells a l'intention d'interjeter appel.

Cartoons Hooters calendar girl Becky and David Wells Hooters Restaurant, NYC, 11/10/01 Photo by Glyn Emmerson "Delightfully Tacky Yet Unrefined" is the slogan of Hooters, the chain of restaurants where "bird watchers" can drink beer and eat chicken wings amidst all manner of wild life in the form of "flattery operated" waitresses dressed in tiny orange jogging shorts and even tinier owl-emblazoned tank tops. What better place then to combine "bird watching" with our nation's other pastime. No, not reality television, but baseball. Hooters calendar girls Hooters Restaurant, NYC, 11/10/01 Photo by Glyn Emmerson Of course, the gaggle of gorgeous calendar gals (back-cover babe Becky from Sarasota, in particular) was seamlessly easy on the senses. At one point I wondered "what smells so good?" only to turn around and find them coming up behind me for the check presentation ceremony. But, clearly the rowdy working class crowd also filled Hooters to get a glimpse and maybe a high-five with David Wells, a hard-throwing, harder-living throwback to old-time baseball, not to mention all-time all-stars like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle, who wore their hangovers as proudly as their pinstripes. Though an autographed calendar went for only $10, since the event was for charity, anyone who wanted a one-on-one with Wells had to dig deeper into their pockets of compassion. Autographed baseballs were clocking in at a fast $50 each. And the big-ticket souvenir was the Perfect Game Package which at $250 included a Beanie Baby, game ticket and game ball.
