	Red Sox Notebook - By Ben Badler - Red Sox Baseball.com
		Gary Gaetti will not hit 34 home runs and drive in 108 runs this year like he did in 1986 for the Minnesota Twins, but he may be a useful mentor for Wilton Veras.
		Gaetti, a four-time gold glove winner and 19-year veteran, is known for his great work ethic and desire to win.
		Gaetti took throws and grounders at first base this spring, and the Red Sox may prefer if Gaetti focused on trying to refine his game as a first baseman rather than a third baseman.

		Gaetti finished 7th in the AL in Homers, behind Albert Belle (50), Jay Buhner (40), Frank Thomas (40), Mark McGwire (39), Raf Palmeiro (39) and Mo Vaughn (39).
		Gaetti's song had one more verse however, as he was waived by St. Louis in August of 1998, with a.269/.335/.454 line in 91 games.
		Gaetti's Royal legacy is stronger than you might think, given the short (and recently terrible) lifespan of this franchise and Gaetti's surprisingly bright performance in blue.

	Guide to Scoring Baseball -- Fourth Inning
		To record the single we draw a line from home plate to where the ball was retrieved by the outfielder, mark his path along the bases with a line from home to first and a tail to indicate he stopped at first.
		To indicate this, we move Gaetti over from first to second with a line along the base paths, and show that he stopped at second with a little tail.
		Things like pitching while not facing the batter, faking pitches while not on the slab or attempting to quick pitch are all balks that aren't seen very often but are in the rules to keep the contest between pitcher, batter and runner about pitching, not trickery.

		The Gary Gaetti Cult is something that we have always laughed about but the page seems to be a hit with other visitors as we've had many folks mention that they've laughed their asses off after magically stumbling onto the page.
		Gary never says die....his refusal to keep his #8 jersey clean is an attribute to the man who serves as an everyday Mr.T to us all.
		Gary defines "leadership" whether he makes a snare at 3 bag or if he gets busted by Steve Stone and Chip Caray in the dugout with a golf sweater on (keeping things loose in the clubhouse I guess).

		Gaetti started reading the Bible and said for the first time he understood what Scripture was saying.
		Gaetti is now the hitting coach for the Houston Astros, a role for which he is well suited.

	The Crawfish Boxes :: Gaetti Fired
		Gary Gaetti was fired from his position of hitting coach by the Houston Astros tonight.
		I don't for one minute believe that Gary Gaetti was responsible for Jason Lane's.205 batting average, or for Preston Wilson's early season barrage of strikeouts, or for Brad Ausmus' recent 0 for 40.
		His firing (like Lane's demotion) is thus a sign that complacency is not going to be OK, that people within the organization are going to need to take responsibility for their charges, and as such, I am all over the move, like it even better than I liked the Huff move.

		Gaetti came to the Cubs during the 1998 season and his strong performance over the last six weeks of the season when he hit.320 was one of the keys in the Cubs playoff run.

		When Gary Gaetti of the Red Sox announced his retirement last month, it wasn't exactly earthshaking news.
		Gaetti's numbers had been in steep decline for several years, and he'd been hitless in Boston's first 10 games.
		While Gaetti was the last player to go flapless at the plate, flapless helmets can still be found elsewhere on the diamond: Seattle's John Olerud wears one in the field, and catchers wear them backward.

	Cold bats lead Astros to dismiss hitting coach Gaetti \| Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
		Astros hitting coach Gary Gaetti was fired Wednesday night, paying the price for an offense tied for the worst batting average in the National League and the 27th worst average in the majors.
		The Astros hope Gaetti's firing "put the players on notice that there is expectation," said general manager Tim Purpura.
		Gaetti was fired almost two years after he was promoted to the major league staff when Phil Garner took over as manager at the 2004 All-Star break.

	FanBlog: Astros: Flawed, flailing hitters: Gaetti's fault?
		Now I don't want to rail against a fellow Louisianian (Gaetti makes his home in Covington, just down the road from me), but the Astros have a number of players who have proven to be good, if not above average hitters who don't produce on a consistent basis and in key situations.
		Gaetti and pitching coach Jim Hickey came to the Astros from the Astros AAA team in New Orleans at the same time Phil Garner took over for Jimy Williams.
		Gaetti can only do so much; he can prepare hitters and get together a game plan on how to face the opposing pitcher, but he can't, I don't think, teach clutch hitting or hitting with RISP.

		Gary Joseph Gaetti (born August 19, 1958 in Centralia, Illinois), nicknamed "G-Man" ("Rat" during his earlier days), is an American former third baseman in Major League Baseball for the Minnesota Twins (1981-90), California Angels (1991-93), Kansas City Royals (1993-95), St. Louis Cardinals (1996-98), Chicago Cubs (1998-99) and Boston Red Sox (2000).
		In 2006, his first year of eligibility, Gaetti received less than 5% of the vote (he received 4 votes; the threshold was 26) from the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, thus becoming ineligible to appear on future BBWAA ballots.
		However, he may eventually be considered for induction into the Hall by the Veterans Committee once 20 years have passed from his date of retirement (therefore, in the year 2021), in accordance with current Hall of Fame rules (enacted in 2001).
