could MLB find a bigger crook to partner with for prostate-cancer awareness than Michael Millken?

Ah, him -- he's been doing that with MLB for a while. He spent an inning in the Braves booth promoting it last year or year before.

yep! he was worth 60 HM points last year, with his 4.99 ERA. And obviously you want a pitcher who'll stay in the rotation all year, bcz it's hard to tell in advance what dumbfuck team like the Reds will let Simon pitch horribly for half a year.

ya, he's a reasonable pick for hacking... i had no idea he was doing so well this season. that's what surprised me!

Nice Bouton piece. I thought he had been invited to a couple of old-timers' games after he and Mantle patched things up (initiated by a call from Bouton to Mantle after Mantle's son died), but I guess not.

He was, and went, in 1998 and perhaps a few after.
