I was always a fan of small ball too, and really enjoyed watching the Cardinals of the early to mid 80's. Whitey Herzog was to small ball what Earl Weaver was to long ball. The Cards could "manufacture" a run better than anyone else during that period.

While I like small ball the most, I'm not opposed to the long ball either. Like Bonedwarf, what's important to me is that they are doing what they do with their natural abilities and not with artifical help, be it small ball or long ball.
