Um. While I agree with the gist of your story…Chink in his armor? REALLY?  Please try to stay up on current events. oldtimefamilybaseball: Nothing beautiful can last forever. It’s why James Dean and Marilyn Monroe are still so popular—their looks will never see the damage of time and being out in the sun without sunscreen. For a while, Ichiro Suzuki seemed to be the one person immune to...
