Fair enough. I think that building a team that won 6 pennants in 30 years and never dropped into the second division during that time is pretty impressive. It's true that they dipped into the lower half once or twice after Honus quit, during the Howdy Glosskoss era. But starting the modern world series ranks up there with introducing night games, west coast travel, and midgets to baseball, if you ask me. All kidding aside, I am on my way to see the Pirates play Detroit for a "turn back the clock to 1909" game. Given the misery of the last 15 years, the Pirates are looking back to the glory days of the Dreyfuss regime. It keeps me going.

I will also concede that Dreyfuss deserves his place in Cooperstown more so than O'Malley. I've always loved the Dodgers (of the Brooklyn variety). I wasn't even born when the team moved out west, but all of the heavily romanticized written tributes to the Bums have always made me wish that I could have wathced a game or ten at Ebbets.
Have fun at the game. I caught a bit of last night's matchup.
