As much as I can't wait for 61* - there's something wrong about the geek from "Sixteen Candles" playing the Chairman of the Board.

'Tho, in his day, Whitey too probably asked some girls to remove their panties as a favor..........

Mantle (Tom Jane) and Whitey Ford (Anthony Michael Hall), right, watch Maris from the dugout in the HBO film.

:D Funny, Net. But he doesn't look like the same geeky runt from the good old days, I think playing "Jocko Homo" in Edward Scissorhands helped him break that typecast.

Is there someone else you would have suggested for the part?

Keifer Sutherland (sic?) if he was younger. Hard for me to cast - - don't know many of the 27-32 year old pretty boys in films today. Anyone have an idea?
