Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun.

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?

Guy cast a long shadow over the game. Not all good, but mostly.

Have to agree with that assesment, and toss my vote in the yes category.

Fabulous player who sadly used his influence to keep players of color out of the game for decades.
