Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun.
- Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, in The Sandlot

I've been going to games since August 8, 1973....and on August 22, 2004, finally, a foul ball came my way. I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller!

Have you read The Baseball Same Game?

Thumbs down

Not for me. I'm not much on managers and Anderson fits the classic profile of "he was just as good as his horses".

you mean as a manager, right?

well, i vote yes. you can have some great ballplayers and not win. and you can have a whole lot of lousy ballplayers and win. i disbelieve that a manager, especially back then, got little to no influence
