I don't root for them.  I root for the team who won the Series in '68, and 
for the team who lost the Series in '68. :-)

Understandable, but I seem to recall that Orlando Cepeda's drug use and abuse 
has been used against him in his quest for the Hall of Fame.  Clarify this 
for me if I'm in error, as it's been a few years.

Totally unrelated:  I'm sitting here recalling a vintage "I've Got a Secret" 
show from the '50s in which the secret was "I'm Denton 'Cy' Young, the great 
baseball pitcher."  Anybody ever see that one, when Young looked to be in his 
80s or 90s (if he lived that long, that is)?
 AH> That's all well and good.  He was a fine player who played hard.  Too

 AH> he decided later to bet on baseball.
Total agreement.  As we know, feelings don't rule out facts. :-/
