(Mantle) was clearly a greater player in his peak years.

Even if Mays is given every conceivable break on every unknown - defense, base running, clutch hitting - his performance still would not match Mantle's.

Any of us are capable of doing things we're not proud of under the wrong kind of stresses.

Well, stealing bases adds some runs but very few, and you lose most of the runs that you gain by having runners caught stealing.

Television is full of fictional and real violence that's turned into entertainment. It's an interesting phenomena and I tried to put it in perspective and tried to think through a few of the real questions that this sometimes unseemly business raises.

Crime cases tend to be fascinating until you figure out what happened.

I like to feel that I understand little things about sports.
