Just to bring up Ty Cobb and Shoeless Joe: Possibly the greatest line about baseball in a movie came from Field of Dreams, when Shoeless Joe says: Ty Cobb wanted to play. None of us could stand the sonofabitch when we were alive so we told him to stick it! And as for Shoeless, although he remains deserving of the Hall of Fame, at least Greenville, SC has given him a park. Check it out at: Shoeless Joe's Park Haven't been a fan of MLB since the 2nd strike, but I still love the game. Thank God for Minor League Baseball, where it's still about love of the game. Blues
