    My favorite player at the time. The Blake Street Bombers were a lot of fun to watch.

    Having had a top-six seat to the mid-‘90s Reds, I’m not so sure that Sanders was a “good” outfielder as he was a “fast” outfielder. He was often out of position, but fast enough to recover and still usually make a play. I was more impressed by the fact that he could basically just show up and hit .260 off major league pitching. If he had played baseball full-time, he would likely have been a very good hitter and a terror on the base paths.

    May, 1990. White Sox vs. Yankees (a brutally bad Yankees team that still gives me nightmares).

    Deion Sanders leads off for the Yankees. He steps into the batters box and draws a dollar sign in the dirt. Carlton Fisk, catching for the White Sox, is annoyed (although he always seemed annoyed).

    Next time up, Sanders comes to the plate with a runner on third and one out, draws a dollars sign in the dirt. ... and then pops up to the shortstop. Rather than running it out, he starts jogging back to the dugout. The fans boo. ... and Fisk yells at him, calling him a piece of shit for not running "the fucking ball out."

    Next time up, Sanders draws his dollar sign in the dirt and avoids making eye contact with Fisk. He mutters something under his breath.

    Fisk, "What did you say?"

    Sanders, "Hey man, the days of slavery are over."

    Next thing you know, Fisk's mask is off and they are standing nose to nose. Fisk, "I don’t care whether you are black or blue or pink or red. If you don’t start playing this game right, I’m going to kick your ass right here."

    Karl “Tuffy” Rhodes, who went into Game 2 of the 1994 season on pace to hit 486 HR that year. Safe to say the work stoppage wasn’t the only thing that kept that from happening.
