    8/23/2005 was one of my favorite Santana victories.

    Batter time clock? Sure. Pitcher time clock? With bases empty, sure. With any base occupied, never.

    Amen! One of the biggest differences in approach of batters compared with 50 years ago is working the count. A bigger zone would help a lot, however, we don't need an increase in the number of K's, so lower the mound a bit as well to take some of the advantage away from the pitcher.

    Who gets earpieces? Who gets mics? All 9 players on the field, all coaches, the manager, the stats consultant? Who controls the security of communication, and how? Players cover their mouths when talking because cameras zeroing in on conversations are subject to lip-reading. Bullpen phones are hard wired rather than cellular for the security reasons. I know your suggestion was well-meaning and possibly partly tongue-in-cheek, but I don't think it's anywhere close to viable.

    Never.

    Yes. The North Stars were in two Stanley Cup finals. I followed the 1991 team fairly closely but I don't remember a particular moment about the final series that year. I didn't follow 1981 as closely. Maybe someone else can chime in on those.

    I've been visiting this site for several years but just recently decided to start posting under this user name. Kirby is and will probably always be my favorite baseball player. Like most of us, I do not condone some of the things he did off the field, especially after he left the game, but I also will say that few of us would be able to gracefully handle what he went through. It's such a shame that things happened the way they did. All it would have taken for his life to have turned out differently is a routine eye exam sometime in January of 1996. His glaucoma would have been diagnosed and treated and he would not have suffered the sudden loss of vision in his right eye.
