Hal LewisI beg to differ, Mr. Preece!

Who is the "hotter" name in marketing?
Is it the old guy who keeps plugging along steadily... or is the GREAT NEW player who is setting the league on fire?
I know in Atlanta this year... Jeff Francouer was ALL THE RAGE... while Chipper Jones is just the same old news.
Also, rule #2: Chick Dig the Long Ball!!

SO...
when Honus Wagner finished SECOND in the entire Major Leagues in HOME RUNS and SIXTH in RBI in 1898 ...
he was the ALBERT PUJOLS of Louisville!!!
He was the media darling.
He was all the rage.
He was the PERFECT candidate for marketing ANYTHING in Louisville in 1899!!!!
