I wonder if there was, or even now is, a power struggle or respect for the sweet spot among a group of "equals". Traditionally the manager seems to grab it on team balls, but when you have a random selection of all star players, like an old timers game or this ball, it makes me wonder.
Yaz grabbed the sweet spot, but did that piss off Aaron or someone else by doing so? Was he first to sign? Was he later and just had the stones to take that spot after nobody else did?
Of course, I missed the fact that your dad had him sign that spot until after I wrote this, but had this not been the case, who should have been on the sweet spot and who actually ends up on it?
