Robert,
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge baseball fan having played through childhood
and into early adulthood. I respect McGuire, Sosa and Griffy for what they
have accomplished. However, after watching where the pitchers have been
pitching McGuire for past month when hitting HRs (check out the TV clips)
and where the ball was thrown when he hit #62, do you ever get the feeling
like it was sort of rigged? All his HR pitches were down and inside or
across the plate. Scouting reports surely know this is his power zone so
why do they continue to pitch him there?
I mean baseball is a business and this chase has been good for business.
People are coming out in record numbers. If I was commissioner I'd be
saying just serve it up to him at least once or twice each night.
PS. I'm trying to think of a way this relates to trading. Do you think I
should buy lumber futures as demand increases for McGuire's card?
Brian.

Mark Mcquire broke the baseball single season home run record tonight.
Hit number 62.
