Stephen Frazier gave up a long homer to Otis Nixon and said:
 SF> But you simply named everyone who DH'ed, whether they actually were
 SF> instrumental or not.
Baloney. I wouldn't have named them if they weren't instrumental.
 SF> guys named Carter, Cone, Alomar, Jack Morris, David Wells, Jimmy Key,
 SF> Maldonado, etc who played during that stretch as well.
Ah, I see. So if a player is in the NL, he can be the instrumental player 
despite being one of many but if he's in the AL, that's not true. You see, 
you have to tell me this so I can think like you. :-^
 SF> Pssst, Eddie, that wasn't during the past two years.
You didn't say ANYTHING about the past two years and if Toronto can get in 
the Series two years in a row without Winfield and Molitor, as you contend, 
then the Braves had as much of a chance without the Crime Dog.
 SF> Irrelevant. The books called him a pitcher, and that's was his primary
 SF> occupation.
It was his occupation for several years BUT NOT when he started hitting a lot 
of home runs. His increase in home runs coincided with his move to the field.
 SF> There are quite a few ABOVE that as well. Besides, anything over a buck
 SF> fifty is GREAT for a guy who takes no practice, and only works every
 SF> five days.
That's baloney. When the DH was first introduced, NONE of the guys that were 
DHing felt any shame and most of them pointed out to the fact that the 
pitchers weren't doing anything to improve themselves. If MOST pitchers would 
take an interest in hitting then maybe this argument wouldn't be taking place 
but the fact is that while there are SOME pitchers who do care but MOST don't 
give a rat's butt.
