So, what? You are ignoring the part of Williams, Jeter and Abbot fighting crime after performing their gigs on the NY nightclub scene?

I think Abbott needs to hold out for the WHOLE story to be told.

poppycock... Abbot did it all single handedly...

only thing about this.... it wasnt really a baseball movie... the story is more of a very interesting spy movie... where he was coincidentally a baseball player...

i do remember seeing the movie... but i dont remember if there was more than 10 minutes of baseball, or any other mention of baseball in the movie...

That’s definitely fair. I was just submitting it as a “movie about a baseball player” even though baseball was not the primary focus. His baseball career is CERTAINLY not worthy of a movie.

hes definitely a unicorn in that he is worthy of a movie, but what people know him for is not why he was worth it...

cant think of another person in history like that.... i am sure there are many...

now that i think about the movie more... i do remember the entire Japanese baseball scene... that was actually pretty fascinating... wish i remembered what it was more than just calling it the japanese baseball scene... but i do remember seeing that and be like WOW>>> THATS cool...

This is the absolute most anti-climatic runoff poll ever. No discussion at all on-topic, and the vote is an absolute runaway.

to be official, though, the poll will close tomorrow AM…

I was really hoping that Jeff Kent would be in this poll . . . or Rich Aurilia.

Don’t be a homer. We need greats like Mattingly and ONeill first.

How about Tim Salmon?

Only if Kevin Bass, Mike Trout and Jake Fishman are on the list as well.

I'm abstaining from voting any more until Brady Anderson is added to the list.
