"What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for? He had 30 home runs and over 100 RBIs last year. He's got a rocket for an arm. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE DOING!"
Any "Seinfeld" fan in the world will easily recognize that quote from Frank Costanza, who had some harsh words for Yankees owner George Steinbrenner over the 1988 trade of Yankee prospect Jay Buhner for Mariners veteran Ken Phelps.
Phelps, who does radio commentary for the Diamondbacks on Arizona Sports 98.7, and Buhner were reunited Wednesday at Mariners camp in Arizona.
