Vindicated may not have been the best choice of words, but you get my drift. I always felt bad for Bill, who otherwise had a fine career, but will always be remembered for one that got under his glove. I've played enough infield to know that sometimes these things just happen - it's never mentioned, but I think that ball took an odd hop - didn't come up as high as he expected. Poor guy; what a legacy! Anyway, hopefully, that unfortunate incident will be put to rest assuming the Bosox win the Series. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
