He's great with people, good in the clubhouse and has the kind of speed you just don't find everywhere. What he's never done is found an ideal spot in the majors. It's always been almost impossible to walk Sanders, which makes him less than ideal as a leadoff hitter. He can run down almost any fly ball, but doesn't throw particularly well. The Reds, who turned him loose for 56 steals in 1997, are the only team that's ever fully exploited his speed.

Razzed a little from the stands as his long day wore on at The Diamond, Sanders smiled at the boos and toyed with the crowd. Which will probably never change. One of the best things you can say about Deion Sanders is that we continue to see more of him than could have ever been imagined.
