A West Coast songwriter whose name I can't remember (sorry) has a great one about Life According to Satchel Paige - "Don't look behind-they may be catching up to you", etc. I don't know if it's happy or sad that Steve Goodman died while it still looked like the Cubs might actually win the pennant that year, before they (inevitably) choked... Growing up in the Midwest my teenage heroes were Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Don Kessinger et al... We went to a Baltimore O's game several years ago, when Keith Morland(sp?) was playing for them, but he never dropped a routine fly (that game at least!)
