In wake of the ALCS, please check out my interview with the former Yankee and Angel, the truly inspirational, Jim Abbott!

Hi!

Both were amazing but who was better.

The debate Greg Maddux vs Roger Clemens.

Let me know if you like it and of course feedback is always great.

Thanks

Alec Miller.

Hey Alex,

I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks

With your team in 2nd place, what do you think are the chances that they'll reach the top of the division?

Hey Alex,

People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
