Bill put out a doozy on his all-star game experience.  Here is the link http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/040713

One blurb

The Home Run Derby made up for everything. Thanks to an all-access field pass from the good people at MLB, I stood behind the batting cage and watched every relevant All-Star take batting practice. There's no way to capture something like this in print; I won't even try. At one point, Bonds, Berkman, Piazza and Sosa were taking turns in the cage, trying to one-up each other as the crowd roared. Seeing someone like Bonds and his gigantic head that close -- literally, maybe eight feet away -- as he effortlessly belted pitches into the right-field stands ... that's just something you don't forget.

As you know VG, only a few of us on this board thinks he has a mammouth head.  No real sportswriter would ever think such a thing.....

Yup, it is something we just made up because we are against black athletes being successful, or so i'm told.  ::)
