I'll be rooting for Bannister.

Point well taken. Unfair comment on my part. My recollection of McGraw was that he was a dropout/runaway in early life and somewhat of a drinker off the field throughout his life. But that has little to do with baseball-IQ and certainly nothing to do with the ability to tie one's own shoes.
