    Mental disorder?

    I remember him from that '93 Phillies squad. Good times.

    Eisenreich always seemed to be clutch against the A's. It's cool that he's dedicated so much to helping children with Tourette's.

    Tourette's isn't a mental disorder, it's a neurological disorder. There is a difference.
