Same here.  The DH has skewed the statistics, and has put a few
guys in the HoF that probably don't belong.  Imagine how many
homeruns the Babe would've hit if he didn't play the field--or Say Hey
too for that matter.  And Hank got quite a few as DH for the Brewers.
Kind of taints the whole thing.  But I'd gladly keep the DH if they'd
once-and-for all outlaw astroturf!

I'd like to hear/see them too.  BOC isn't touring much now, as they're
working on the album.  Projected release for early summer '01...
