Back to beisbol.....um, simple-minded, naive M&M, didya ever wonder about Sammy winning the home run contest with a corked bat? Or anyone else, for that matter?
Hey, Sammy admitted to using the corked bat for batting practice, and he used a batting practice pitcher for the competition, right? Same difference.
(I may be simple-minded and naive, but I'm not stoopid...)

Speaking of batting practice pitchers, I believe the competitors get to choose who they want to throw to them, and I thought I heard the guy that threw to last year's winner was chosen by 4 of this year's competitors. He probably threw 200 pitches by the time the evening was done. (In fact, as he was walking off the field I saw him asking for the Cubs' team doctor...)
