Throwback- The Legend of Kiko Alonso

[Another Fan]

For whatever reason my mind got triggered to think of him.  Thought it’d be fun to look back.  For that one year in 2013 he seemed almost as beloved by the fanbase as Josh is now.

 

I was a big fan and was disappointed when he got traded.

 

I did over time sour on him…. He became something of a dirty player later on and remember a cheap shot he gave Josh his rookie year.

 

 

Still more years removed this was still a fun watch

Think about how funny this is now. I wonder which goodwill location has that jersey now?

 

They should track those people down and do a “where are they now?”

I liked the guy too, but trading him straight-up for McCoy was a no-brainer. Great deal for us.

Better call out CSI.

A young lady (I use that term loosely...) traded some mouthification to a dude for his Kiko jersey. Both parties appeared to be satisfied with the transaction.

 

Someone caught it on video and it went viral.

Was he not also nominated for a James Beard Foundation award? Best newcomer to open a can, or something?

Sales of Alonso jerseys spiked after that, as I recall.

Absolutely awesome,

[eSJayDee]

When I think of the "Legend of Kiko", I think of when he was w/ the Dulphins, I think it was Allen's rookie year & Allen ran for like 100+ yards when Kiko was spying him.  Made him look absolutely foolish several times.

Kiko or Alonso would both make good names for a pet frog, ya dig?

No, that’s me.  I was given it for a Xmas gift.  He was traded a game later.

I bought a cheap knockoff Kiko Alonso jersey for my wife. Alonso got traded and I got divorced. Thanks Alonso.

You file that paperwork as fast as you possibly can

I was at the Ravens game and it was pure chaos every play he made. You felt like we had a future HOF... and by the seasons end he was a good LB (folkhero) but not a player you had to keep at all costs.

[dorquemada]

you kids dont understand what it was like back then.  all a guy had to do was wear an Alonso jersey and it was on like a mofo

The goodwill I work at in Enfield CT. And I promise you that's not in our budget. Just employee harassment.

I just had this idea that I’d pop in this thread and make a joke about it being Diana Russini. You’re 6 hours ahead on the comedic timing. Well done sir!!
