Well, longevity for the sake of longevity is a detriment.  There's
nothing wrong with 4256, but to use that to argue that Rose is better
than Cobb, as some have done, IS absurd.

No, this one would be difficult to complain about.  Ripken plays SS, not
1B, and has never done one of those "pinch hit and then be replaced in
the bottom half of the inning" things like Gehrig in order to keep his 
streak going.

Report of the local newspaper in the Lehigh Valley has reported that Seattle
catcher Dale Valle is going to the Brewers for 6 foot 5 inch David Rossing.
Rossing, in AA ball, is expected to be possibly with the team by September.
Last year, he hit 29 HR"s and 95 RBI's and batted .316.  Baseball magazine has
reported him to be one of the top prospects of the rookie crop this year.

The Angels got *Hubie Brooks* for Gallagher, not Mookie, whom, as far as I
know, was released by the Blue Jays during the offseason and is out of a job.
Brooks, meanwhile, is DHing for the Angels.

1949 is correct for 5 homers in an inning. I know that before his retirement,
and in the late '80s, Schmidt participated in back-to-back-to-back homers
with VOn Hayes and someone else, a catcher I think. It missed four in a row
by about ten feet, too. I can probably get a more well-documented story 
when I go home for Passover break next week, if this thread is somehow 
still around.

	Are you sure that none of you who are in this conversation aren't
prejudiced because you have been watching Eck in his 'peak'? How many
of you who think Eck is better saw Fingers pitch in his prime? Obviously,
as we know, relievers were not as highly touted when Fingers was performing
his magic with the A's in the early 70's as they are today. Heck, baseball
was not as highly touted. (That is, the media coverage was no where near
the same) 
	Thus, without arguing who is better or worse, career or peak, I 
would just suggest you evaluate some outside influences and make sure
your opinion is an objective one. 

(P.S. that argument about the A's not giving Eck a good chance in the
 World Series is hogwash. First of all, that is what he is paid to do
and secondly, at least Eck never had to face the Big Red Machine in
the WS!)

David West, Game 5, on Lonnie Smith's HR.  I give it a sligh edge over
Ron Davis, 1984, on Jamie Quirk's HR for Cleveland (The Twins blew a 
10-0 lead to lose 10-11, knocking the Twins out of the pennant race).  

That game also one of my all-time favorite quotes.  Gary Gaetti had an 
error that opened the floodgates for Cleve.  Gaetti's comment was "It's hard 
to throw when you have both hands around your throat."

Ruben had a great defensive play in center last night, (no hits).
I think Chamberlin is the one in jepordy, he's hitting seventh now.
Murphy had a very good Spring and so far is wacking the ball pretty
good, so my guess is Wes will go eventually if Ruben becomes a
starter.

Word is a bruise above his elbow.  The Reds have an off day tomorrow, so he
should be back for the Giants' series at the 'stick over the weekend (along
with Rob Dibble!).

BTW, I don't know if this is the same elbow which got hit by a pitch yesterday.
(Seeing Belcher knock down Olson in retaliation the next inning warmed my 
heart). 

Does anyone know the status of Sabo's injury?  Baseball Weekly makes it sound
as if he might not be ready by the time he comes off the DL in 10 days or so,
but I have also heard via e-mail from someone who apparently gets a paper that
reports Reds news that Sabo is already jogging, and is upset about having 
been put on the 15 day DL, so I am rather confused.  IMHO, the return of Sabo
will be a lot more important to the Reds than the return of Dibble, unless
Dibble decides to do his imitation of God again (like the first half of last
season).

Thanks for any info.

 I apologize for posting the wonkily-formatted summary of my '92 predictions;
we've been experimenting with different client-based News readers and damned if
I didn't turn off auto line-breaking.  This really annoys me when others do it, so
I therefore abase myself in front of all of rec.sport.baseball.

As further penalty, my prose will go unread this year!

thanks, sorry again!

	Well, it's not too *goofy* but seeing ANdre Dawson throw 8, 9  
(possibly more?) bats onto the field last year was fairly amusing....
well, that and the shitload of stuff the fans threw on the field as well
which took about 20 minutes to clean up.
