Scott, Just got in from work a short bit ago, just in time to see David Bell drive in the winning run. I figure the Giants pulled it out because I wasn't sweating bullets watching. <G> I'm with Rose; I would never pitch to Bonds if I didn't have to. Why take the risk? Goal number one is to win. Walking Bonds carries certain risks and eliminates others. I'd walk him every time. jpg

Scott, Just looked at the fan-voted Top 10 baseball moments. In 10 years, Ripken's accomplishment wouldn't make the Top 5, let alone number one. Not to diminsh the significance of that feat, but I don't see it in the same terms as the Shot Heard 'Round the World. (And I'm not biased. <G>) Ripken was definitely a class act and one of the few athletes that seems to take his station as a role model seriously. I'd have voted for Robinson breaking the color barrier because its importance transcended sports. jpg
