Mal,

Bill James has also done research and determined that baseball is better today then it has ever been. As you have vehemently stated before, you believe that baseball peaked in the 50's and it has been all downhill from there. He has reasons for his opinions and you have reasons for yours. I would regard both of them as "informed opinions" whatever the hell that is, but they are opinions nonetheless. Bobby Cox being the best manager in the game IS an opinion. You can make a very very strong argument for him, but you can also make a case for other managers as well. Flame away....
