Pity actual no-names Brian Shouse, Wes Helms and Jake Woods, so overlooked as to only garner 1% of the vote in a contest to see who the most overlooked player is.Juniorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08172624914735262408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-1161645391805379992006-10-23T19:16:00.000-04:002006-10-23T19:16:00.000-04:00Right. This list is NHL-level white, not just MLB-level white. Which is defensible if there is some set of relatively objective criteria -- for instance, in recent years, it seems like white guys are underrepresented in the MVP voting.

At least, as of last year, according to <A HREF="http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/sports/abox/article_1213380.php" REL="nofollow">this thing.</A><BR/><BR/>Which has to make you wonder even more about the 93% of whitey-ness eligible for this Eckstein situation.dakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02768386460112735397noreply@blogger.com
