Explain how being a great ball player makes you knowledgable about baseball? Or not being a great ball player makes you less knowledgable.


Well, gee. If you had a chance to talk baseball in Heaven with Ted Williams or Rudy Regalato, who would you choose?

Let me know when you are hired by Fox or ESPN. I am dying to hear your take on how major league umpires could take three innings to decide that a run scored before the final out of an inning, on a non-force, actually counted.

An anxious nation awaits.
