Adam - Re: "Obviously Oakland didn't make McGwire happy like St. Louis does (it helps to have crowds at the park). ;-)" True - and Oakland HAD BIG crowds at the park - from the late 1980s thru about 1993 - when the A's went downhill. That period included THREE CONSECUTIVE World Series appearances (1988, 89, 90) - and one win (1989)! Re: "If you held out to sell the ball later (or even just keep it for your own collection), reports were that he'd snub you and not even let you take a picture" I can believe it ! Re: "I don't think Mark does any Sosa moves - it's usually his high five/belly blow combination, and a salute to the owners box at home games." He was a lovey-dovey-carbon-copy of Sosa during the 1998 home run stretch. Re: "And he does also give an enormous amount of money and time to his charitable foundation, a good practice that other Cardinals have adopted" That is good to hear. Paul
