<==FLAME ON==>

I usually try to stay out of discussions such as this but the comment by
Steve Silberberg about George Brett put my fingers in motion. He said that
all Brett was worried about was the money. That's ludicrous! The game just
happened to be in the ninth inning with 2 outs. The score with the home run
is 5-4 Royals whereas the Yankees win the way the umps ruled it. Now, I
agree that ballplayers worry about money and I don't blame them a bit (That's
all, that's their livelihood) but I don't know too many ballplayers who,
with the game on the line, are mentally at the bargaining table instead of
paying attention to the business at hand. Now, I am not a huge George Brett
fan; in fact, I think some of his conduct is out of line, but to say that
thinking about money made him charge the umpire is ridiculous! There, that's
better. Now I can get back to hitting return, space, and 'n'!
