Not to stray off topic, but this thread got me running over to youtube to watch some of the old Home Run Derby episodes. It's pretty fascinating seeing these superstars so young, polite and exuberant. Most stunning to me were Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, because these days they are known as such jaded SOB's. Watching them (and all of the other guys) exude so much charm and personality was really a treat.
And now back to your regularly scheduled thread...
