But really, what else is there to say? He is a superhero.

But she's pretty good at it! I'm a Dodgers fan, Coley is Phillies, Alejandro is White Sox, Paul is Mets, and Zvee is Braves.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could put any truth to the rumor I heard about Varitek sitting in his driveway passing out autographs to trick or treaters on Halloween... If it's true then I have an even bigger amount of respect for this guy than I did before...

If they're in the top 20% at their position, they're a class A. Top 21-40% players are Type B. And "position" is defined as the following five categories: 1B/OF/DH; 2B/SS/3B; SP; RP; Catchers Because it includes the DH, the 1B/OF/DH "position" doesn't include defensive stats at all.
