Pope Benedict Declares Derrek Lee "King of Kings"
VATICAN CITY--Move over Jesus, there's some competition for the Pope's affection. After Derrek Lee's 2-HR, 6-RBI explosion in the Cubs lineup Wednesday, the normally slow-starting Cub first baseman is hitting .430 with 7 HR and 27 RBI in the month of April. The outburst of offense caused Pope Benedict XV to declare Lee the new "King of Kings."
Lee expressed excitement to be declared the new Messiah.
The new King, determined to live up to His new title, declared seven of the other eight starters in Wednesday's game, "My seven little apostles." He dubbed Jose Macias, "One of the lepers." Corey Patterson, who hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning of Wednesday's 8-7 victory over the Cincinnatti Reds, was declared, "Corey the Baptist." When asked about Nomar Garciaparra, Lee simply called him, "Lazarus."
