That's the first time I've enjoyed hearing Keith Olberman talk in a very, very long time.

There are now several guys in MLB who need little more than two seasons to strike out as many times as Gwynn did in his entire career.

I remember an announcer telling a story about how Gwynn filed his bat handles down to lessen overall bat weight and to make the bat more whippy. When asked, "Won't that make the bats break more often when you hit it on the handle?" He replied that he didn't plan on hitting any balls off the handle.

And he didn't. He could go a hundred games or more with a single, favorite bat.
