    This is a poignant, emotional response. It's fantastic and he's spot on, regardless of what you normally think of him.

Olbermann thought at the time Yount was a little overrated and really shouldn't be considered for Hall of Fame status(which of course he is).

    Okay, he's on my enemies list now (and I'm not even familiar with Yount lol).

    Hey DAR, politics aside, did I ever tell you that I was on hand at Fenway Park to watch Yastrzemski slug his 3000th? ;)

    What a day THAT was. :D
