(don't jump in on because it's political) Jim Bunning (on BB HOF'ers vs. politicians)

Posted By: Howard W. Rosenberg

You shouldn't jump in on the thread, since Bunning, the HOF pitcher, is a political figure and the board is not for partisan exchanges. But still, an interview with him in today's New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/06/us/06bunning.html?ref=us

has a meaty baseball quote from him. Referring to his current political difficulties in summoning support for a possible re-election bid, he reportedly said:

"When you've dealt with Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra and Stan Musial," he said, "the people I'm dealing with now are kind of down the scale."
