[@RalphIrvine]

Darryl Strawberry was also apparently unfazed by sports history and yet it didn't slow him down much either

[@chatchatham9472]

Is this the Book Bo said he wouldn’t be signing?

[@sanford943]

I assume Pearman mentioned he had about a 30 minuted telephone talk with Jackson,but he wasn't going to sit for an interview.
