Wasn’t that a Swedish heavy metal band in the 80s? Think they opened for Spinal Tap on the historic Japanese tour. In the good olde days, below the waist was a charley horse, above was a pulled muscle. “Put some linament on it, Doc…. (that’s the 50’s player to the hard drinking, tobacco spitting trainer), the kid from the damn minors is after my job.”

As to HOF Veteran’s, Santo no rings, no good. Hodges more of a legend, and rings, I’m sold. Walking out to leftfield as Mets’ skipper to pull a dogging it Cleon Jones off the field during a game- that’s your tie-breaker right there.
