MILWAUKEE (AP) - First Carlos Gomez heard voices. Then he watched his iPod go haywire after he got out of the shower. That sent him scrambling for the lobby without stopping to put on his pants and shoes.
After last year's experience, the Minnesota Twins outfielder didn't want to go back to Milwaukee's Pfister Hotel.
Like some other players, he swears the 116-year-old hotel is haunted.
But Gomez had to stay there when the Twins were in town to play the Brewers last month. He says he brought along some protection: teammate-turned-roommate Francisco Liriano and a Bible.
Hotel general manager Joe Kurth won't acknowledge any specific ghost stories from ballplayers or other guests, citing privacy concerns. He says guests interested in seeing a spirit might want to stay in the hotel's historic wing.
While some players shy away from the hotel, Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy says he loves the quiet atmosphere, even if his players are nervous about it.
