    Yeah, you're right, but still:

    Given the choice between a .631 winning percentage over a three-year period and two World Series championships within a half-decade, I'll take the two rings. :)

    Mikey, why isn't Marichal higher on this list? I mean he swung a bat at Joey Rosen's head!

    It was John Roseboro, but your point is well-taken.

    Don't expect the puppy to get much right. He was once one of those kids that had to wear a helmet, even when he wasn't on a bike.

    PS: I pulled this photo off Google and couldn't help but notice that the autograph is nothing like the one I got from him when I was like 9. Hope they didn't pay a lot for it.

    Boy.. this is plague on this board.

    That's a totally different point than the one you are responding to.

    LOL.

    Only a three-peat would have been OK by you?

    Wow.

    You, of all people, should know how difficult winning it all is.
