      Next to DeNiro, Kimmel, Bill Maher, elitist left-wing loon Costas has exhibited one of the most severe cases of TDS on record.

    Costas is insightful as usual, but especially about the difference between style and mere exhibitionism. The greats of the past demonstrated so much class in the way they comported themselves on the field. Koufax, Aaron, Mays, Mantle, Clemente and others. No bat flipping after a home run or milking the moment by conspicuously watching the ball leave the park (Mantle said he just lowered his head and rounded the bases because he thought the pitcher felt bad enough already) no wide-mouthed screams when you made a good play, no histrionic adolescent behavior. These guys played like adults, not overgrown middle-schoolers. Class and style indeed.
    Also, miss the days of broadcasters like Vin Scully and Chick Hearn (and Costas belongs in that class) who were colorful, articulate and who made the game interesting but who never went over the top, screaming and yelling like a bunch of drunk frat boys at the slightest well-made play or well-hit ball.
    There are some classy players and broadcasters today, but far too many of the exhibitionist sort. And that, as so well noted, is very different from true style.

    Ode to Sir Willie Mays
    Willie Mays, SIR to all of us.
    I, like many looked up to you with pride.
    Love you immensely for the road you paved for us of a brown hue.
    Lasting memories are going to be our tapestry of you.
    "I so admire Sir Mays" are utterances in many a head now and beyond.
    Excellence in being is what you are with a resounding AMEN.
    May your family turn to god for inner strength.
    Anything is possible as God has shown you.
    Your breath of sustainable achievements will be forever lasting.
    So Sir, I write this to bid you farewell to enjoy eternal rest.🫶🏾🙏👊🏾🤟🏾

    Clemente played most of his career in cavernous Forbes Field...365' down the leftfield line...457' to the left of center. He still hit 250+ homers and home run power is vastly overrated.
    Clemente was a better fielder than Mays and Aaron and had the stronger arm by far.
    Clemente won 4 batting titles.
    Compare the world series batting record of Mays to anyone...subpar.
    Clemente faced 4 twenty game winners in the 1971 series versus Baltimore and carried the Pirates to victory.
