In 1974, writer Larry Eldridge made this observation about the 25-year old Grich: “Grich is one of those rare ballplayers who excel in every aspect of the game—a strong hitter, a slick fielder, and a steady performer whose day-to-day contributions can carry a team almost single-handedly. He’s the driving force for the Baltimore Orioles now in their down-to-the-wire race with the New York Yankees, and he may well be the most valuable player in the American League, even though somebody else with more glamorous statistics will undoubtedly get the award.”
It's a bit incremental but the existing Grich facegen looked a bit too long and the facial expression is very unhappy. The pictures I checked seemed more squared off.
I'll be back on the main thread tomorrow to work off your list of undead, luckymann. Sox are in the 6th inning and demand my attention this evening...

I just tried to reverse psych them into finishing it off by putting $50 on the Rays at $5.50. You're welcome.
