I think it was Earl Weaver who said of Piniella, when he dies the first thing he'll do in heaven is hit a curve ball to right for a base hit. Serious competitor. The fly ball he pretended not to lose in the sun, so as to hold Burleson (I think) on second during the Bucky Dent game, was genius. Or were you talking about Gehrig lol.
