Paul Molitor and Robin Yount to name two more, plus countless guys whose names aren't household words ... if you get up my way, I'll introduce you to a guy named Brad Wellman who was the 2nd baseman for the Giants before Robbie Thompson, and was then with the Royals and the Dodgers before hanging them up ... this guy runs a little baseball academy now and works with kids ... great guy, fabulous attitude, wonderful teacher ... and I think there's a lot more guys like him than we know about, guys who never did make the news, and who didn't make the big splash, but were there for all the right reasons ... guys like Mike Sadek who caught for the Giants in the 70's ... never played in more than 100 games a season, has 5 career home runs, but a guy who's given a lot back to kids ... he was a fantastic influence on two of my four sons ... too bad there's not more known about this type of guy and less attention to the swell-heads like Bonds ...

Steve, you are so right and I remember Brad Wellman.....being an oldtime Kansas City Royal fan, and it seems silly to list great guys who played the game and leave off another Royal George Brett! Charlie
