Absolutely, Power Corrupts

Absolutely, Power Corrupts No, not an article about Tom Delay. (I’m soooo funnny) Mark Teahen is no exception. This odd swing of his — the reason he’s a good hitter but not a power hitter — has a rich provenance. There was nothing to do in Yucaipa except play baseball — or, at any rate, […]
