Re: OT: The one player you regret not seeing play IP
Brent,
When I read that you posted Barry Bonds I immediately thought of my vacation in 2007. The wife and I planned a trip to San Francisco. As is our custom, we always choose cities where we could include catching a baseball game. It was the summer Barry Bonds was chasing Hank Aaron for the HR record. I have to admit that while I despised Bonds, I did get caught up in the HR frenzy. I asked the wife if we wanted to go to the Monday or Tuesday Giants game. We chose the Monday night game. I distinctly recall every pitch that was thrown to Bonds that night flashbulbs from every corner of the stadium lit up. Well, as luck would have it Bonds went 0 for something Monday night. The next night we watched him break the HR record from our hotel room. If I didn't like him before hand, well, it gave me all the more reason to dislike him even more! ErikV By the way, I would have like to have seen Randy Johnson pitch at least once.

To me, batting in person has always seemed not that much different than on TV, whereas fielding seems to take on an extra dimension. Therefore, in my generation, Ozzie who was over in the other league.
