There was a great article/column
in the Seattle Times a few days ago about Mariners Senior Advisor and baseball great Ted Simmons.
Ted has had a long playing career [20 seasons] and a career nearly as long as a general manager or executive for a whole host of teams. Through all that Ted has yet to be apart of a championship team. And to be honest, I hope he isn't really expecting that championship with the Mariners anytime soon.

Of course my being a fan of Ted Simmons all relates to his time with the Brewers and
Harvey's Wallbangers.

It might just be my imagination or does the '73 set have more of these catchers squatting cards than the average set.
