as teenaged as this sounds, EC sounds like a real standup guy (a "right gee"? maybe I've been reading too many pulps?)
I've always liked the way he plays the game, and this article makes him look like a good guy off the field too.

I don't think it's teenaged at all to have a player or players you respect above others. Much like you appreciate EC, Lance Berkman is one of my favorite players because he is skilled, humble, and plays hard.

to a punk in a bar
"you want to fight, my friend?"
"sure"
"Ok, let me go get him"

I think I have to go with Chavez on this one. seems like an "any means necessary" kind of guy if it gets down to it.

[/ QUOTE ] what if they need a HR and the only viable pitch to hit is one that bouces 6 inches in front of the plate? Who would you take then?

you got me there. I think Vlad's idea of a good, hittable pitch is one that isn't a pickoff.
