I just actually relate to the white socks.

You know, my dad pitched for them from 83 through 87.

I think back to my childhood, and it was Chicago, it was catching lightning bugs,

going to Kamiski, and it had the yellow paint on all the railings,

and I used to sit there as a kid and pick the pain, and I probably ate too much of it.

It was the organ, it was the mascot.

Floyd Bannister, Bannister, of course, since the All-Star break, is 4-0.

That left hand is starting to come alive.

Here's the three-two pitch.

Thruck him out.

And he got it in a good spot.

Now Vernon Welles not happy with the strike zone, but Brian Bannister is thrilled.

Bannister has retired 13 of the last 14.

I think he brings a lot to the table.

I think he's got a lot to offer as far as pitch design.

I talked with a lot of different people who extoll his virtues and say that he's one of the best guys around,

and I think there's great reviews on Brian.

He's been awesome.

He pretty much has revolutionized some of the pitchers in our game,

especially the guys that sink the ball, the seam shift.

I joke, I call him the seam shift God.

Spiegel and Holmes, afternoons on the score.
