Sigh, I try and add a touch of class and sage wisdom to this site yet all of you children are so bent on having stats be the decider on which player is the best. I should have known that you do not have the understanding of what the game of baseball is all about. You have been raised during the computer age, the espn age where it is all about numbers and crotch grabbing or who slams the most or who has the gaudiest numbers. You just don't seem to grasp the beauty of the game. Baseball is not about the $250 million that Arod makes or Mark McGwire's muscular frame ripping homers out of the park, it is about Don Kessinger gliding into the six hole and making a graceful putout. It is about what Joe Garigiola called the game in a game, where the pitcher and catcher try and figure out a way to stop Lou Brock from stealing 2nd base. There was a time when Baseball truly was a game, now it is just a conglomeration of numbers, who makes how many millions and how many guys will hit 50 homeruns this year, how many players are on steroids....
Sigh, life truly is wasted on the youth
