of players coming and going.
Which we don't think is quite
fair comparison, as even Mac
Phail couldn't pick peaches from
lemon tree and this year really
good players aren't on the market.
Every club needs every good play
err it can find, and if Hickey is urg'
ed to get new blood for his ~
pressing Dodgers he can answer
that with the simple question:
"Who?" If he gets an answer te
that it will be a minor miracle
Anyway, conditions being as
they are we don't think any club
or club official should be put in
the doghouse for not doing the i'm
possible.
