We talked about that-- I asked Dan if he thought that the young players in baseball had the same sort of overweening ego and disrespect seen in the NBA, the kind that seems to think no one as great as they has ever come before. He said the older ones were probably (what he calls) "students of the game", but as we watched we could see the sort of innocent smiles on many of the young faces (I think one was our Pudge). One of the announcers was almost unable to speak, he was so moved, and he said the same as you- Williams was the greatest hitter ever.
Of course you and Dan are so similar in your attitude about baseball. I remember being on an early date with Dan and hearing about how "baseball is a metaphor for life." He is absolutely sincere in his love for the game- for him it has symmetry, and grace, and perfection. I don't pretend to understand it.
