    I know a lot of people think he's a blowhard - and he may well be - but Keith Olbermann said something today about the recent deaths: "All our baseball cards are dying." I thought that was rather apt. God bless, Hank. You were my first hero.

    All ballparks, majors and minors, should have their flags at half-staff.
