Been reading a bunch of Stephen King novels of late, just finished the Shining, and I was surprised how different the book is from the movie, which I hadn’t realized before. A lot of stuff that happened in the movie didn’t happen in the book, and vice versa. Both very good though. Before that I finally read through the Stand, It and Different Seasons.

Began watching baseball on t.v. 70 years ago. Willie was great, but Andruw tracking fly balls was 1-of-a-kind.

Yep, he also used to get to balls on his feet where other guys were having to dive to even make an attempt at catching them. He read fly balls better than anyone in the history of the game. Every time you turned a game on it felt like you were going to see a web gem from him.

Jones was terrific but saying he was the best is going out on a ledge. Many great CF's in history of MLB. I will say top 5 but greatest is pushing it. Although I get it Braves fans will put him at the top but Mays,Maris, Griffey Jr. amongst others were just as terrific. For the record pre-Reds years Griffey Jr. Was the best and if not for injuries probably bypasses everyone else
