We made fun of this guy's ears when we were kids-this is when about all there was to do was play with baseball cards. Turns out we weren't alone. This from Bill James:
"Don Mossi was the complete five-tool ugly player. He could run ugly, hit ugly, throw ugly, field ugly and ugly for power. He was ugly to all fields. He could ugly behind the runner as well as anybody, and you talk about pressure ... man, you never saw a player who was uglier in the clutch."
This came up when I saw a pic today of Pedro Alvarez, third baseman for Vanderbilt. Can't help but to think of Star Trek and aliens when I see those ears.
