We have been asked from several

when they don't have to, field well
when there's no one on bases. pitch
well when the game Is won, make
beautiful satriiice hits with two men
cut, VINO can get three runs on one
nit and no runs on -. who can make
phenomenal plays when the bases are
empty, and throw fits when the bases
are full. WHO have the greatest pitch
ing stan in the country that can't
pitch, the greatest bunch of hitters
that can't hit, the greatest lot Of field
ers that can't field. and the greatest
lot OF catchers that can't throw.
And the answer is: We don't know.
