He does things in the field so phenomenally well that I wish I had just been average at. That and his attitude makes me happy for him.
Last confession: I have never been to better stadium than Chavez Ravine. First time was LL in 1966/67. Amazing place. Played catch with Wes Parker after a game in the parking lot.
Candlestick, a great football venue, was a bit of a mess: If Mays had played at Oracle...
I hope it is Seattle and the D's.

Anyone who doesn't like Mookie, I don't know what to say...he's just everything that's good about baseball, sports in general and life. Did you know that he is a top nationally ranked bowler? You probably did.
I get the complaint that the Dodgers have bought a team full of All-Stars and as a Twins fan, I always hated the Yankees for the same reason even though their players were great. The thing about this Dodgers team is that aside from the unbelievable talent in so many of the players, they are also good guys...every last one of them. There isn't a Conseco or a Pete Rose among them...not an A-hole in sight. Mookie, Freddie, Teoscar, Clayton, Shohei, Keke, Tyler, Max...even Dave Roberts the manager, all Grade A nice guys and team players. Hard not to like them on personality alone.
