Remembering Grich
Cardboard Gods remembers Bobby Grich. I drafted Bobby for my 1979 Strat-o-Matic team, then traded him to the NL for Bob Watson and Bill Madlock. Grich and Watson went on to win the league MVPs.
He was Bobby Griiiiiiccchhh when we announced him coming to bat. We always thought that last name sounded like something that clogged the trap under the sink. Maybe, instead of looking for gritty players, teams should look for grichy players. :-)
