Retro,

I actually heard the story about Mays as a side note to a story my neighbors father told us as kids regarding Mays in Japan and the fans cheering (say hey). He could not pronounce it in Japanesse but would than reference the ole mira used in PR.


Another bit of useless info.  Doc Medich's family were family friends of my mother.  We used to go down to his father in laws on the Cheesapeake and spend the weeknd from time to time.  His father or father in law (can't rememeber) would go down to the bay and catch crab and make some of the best crab cakes.  when he was with the Brewers we went to Yankees Stadium and he got us into the dugout and my brother, medich's nephew and myself and we got to meet  Cecil Cooper, Yount, Sutton, Molitor, rolle and someothers....   As I got older, in the occasional conversation with my mother she would give me an update on his circumstances.  It is just a shame on how that one turned out.   he was a very bright guy and very nice.  But just couldn't stop popping pills and writting prescriptions for other players.

I think I recall he was the pitcher who started the game or was pitching when Henderson broke Lou Brock's record, only to  declare "today i am the greatest"

Medical procedures will always get more advanced.  

That being said, laboratory cocktails designed to beat the system are different in my opinion.  As is using substances that are banned.

Now to have HGH in a surgery?????????  IT does start to create a gray area in some regard.

Imagine what the old timers thought of the advantage of microscopic surgery or Tommy John surgery not to mention  lysac (spelling)surgery..........

Times sure have changed. When Wellington was here, we never would have even had a guy like this on our draft board. We always took pride in the Giants steering away from problem like this BEFORE they even suit up.

Talent aside, is this where we now are?????????????/

He signed Collins who was nothing short of a head case.  


They researched it and w
Felt it safe.  
I assume they did the same here.

Ed,
Thanks for the game and all the time involved managing the league.

That is a different kind of challenge. A lot harder than I thought it would be.


Dam Tomeee, that was some kind of run at the end.
