Well, we had much discussion last night about a very controversial

Bocall. It really wasn't that controversial on the television. It appeared from our vantage point.

The centerfield camera showing it.

McLaughen, Lynn McLaughen.

These are a couple of transplanted American leaguers.

Pirates picked him up in a minor league trade.

But McLaughlin was picked up by the Cardinals as they made a whole same change in their pitching staff in the off season.
