debating how to value injury risk for one of my next few picks. It is interesting how the ATG sites spell out injuries so much better. Did you guys also notice they have an option to set up a seperate lineup against backwards pitchers?

Inspector Clouseau's favorite baseball player, Denis "Menke"

I love Peter Sellers! Even have passed that on to my kids.

I went to grade school with a guy who was Denis Menke's first cousin. One degree of separation from an MLB player in those days was a big deal! And I correctly guessed the Twins' opening day lineup in a contest held by the Pioneer Press back in maybe '73? Anyway 25 people guessed correctly and our names were all placed in Rod Carew's batting helmet (amost one degree of separation there) and some other guy won. I was the only kid that got it right. Anyway the consolation prize was a private box at Met Stadium. I was thereafter a local hero in my town.

Picture a nine year old kid yelling "Hey Rod, my name was in your helmet!" For the record that did not merit an autograph. Which reminds me that there is no Rod Carew in this set! Bummer....
