Frank ManciniGUEST
Albert was the most particular of all.
Frank ManciniGUEST
I mean, each guy, whether it was Kenny Lofton, who wanted his handle a particular way so it was easier for him to flick his wrists because he was more of a slap hitter.
Frank ManciniGUEST
Jim Tomey, who had our former trainer, Jimmy Warfield, after he got nailed in the hand one time on a pitch, he created this spongy grip for him at the end.
Frank ManciniGUEST
It was kind of like a triangle.
Frank ManciniGUEST
No question about it.

Albert was the most particular of all I mean each guy whether it was Kenny Lofton who wanted his handle a particular way so it was easier for him to flick his wrists because he was more of a slap hitter Jim told me who had our former trainer Jimmy Warfield after he got nailed in the hand one time on a pitch he created this spongy grip for him at the end was kind of like a triangle that allowed Jimmy, even after his wrist healed up, to grip the bat securely, and he just took off home run-wise after that.
Frank ManciniGUEST
And then there was Albert.
Frank ManciniGUEST
Albert and I would play golf together, and one time he got from Louisville Slugger bats that the handles were too thick.
Paul HembekidesGUEST
Paul Blair is someone whom I've always considered the third best.
Paul HembekidesGUEST
Kenny Lofton is also in the half, you know, top half dozen or so glut you might say amongst the greatest center fielders of all time.
Paul HembekidesGUEST
But Kevin Kiermaier might well be the third greatest defensive center fielder of all time.
Paul HembekidesGUEST
The contemporary comparison everyone is going to make is PCA, who is in his prime, while we have Statcast to more granularly measure his reads and more granularly measure his side to side range and his range coming in.

BryceHOST
I think he's going to end up in that space above the Hall of Pretty Good and just below the Hall of Fame.
BryceHOST
He's going to be like – I'm not comparing their skill set or careers, but you look at a guy like Jim Edmonds, Kenny Lofton, those types of outfielders that were getting started when I was first becoming a baseball fan.
BryceHOST
They were finishing when I was first becoming a baseball fan.
BryceHOST
I think he's going to wind up fitting in that category, and it's nothing to do with his skills or anything like that.
John SuchanHOST
on their players, and I know Cleveland fans have always complained about that over the years, but we're all going back and reliving our days when the Indians were so good back in the late, early, mid-90s and got to the World Series twice.
John SuchanHOST
all that, and we can recite the lineups of those great teams from 95 when Kenny Lofton let off, Omar Vizquel, all of that.
John SuchanHOST
So we miss that, you know, and this year it's been up and down, up and down, up and down.
John SuchanHOST
So we'll see how it all pans out.
