Is 'The Hawk' or 'The Rock' the lock?...
— tonycastillocausedmyfacialtic.blogspot.com — Let’s deal with what I like to call ‘eyeball runs’ (my pseudonym for a better known measure)... An ‘eyeball run’ is something that appears on the scoreboard--if you make contact and a runner crosses the plate (except in the case of a double play)--that’s an ‘eyeball run’ … likewise if you’re the player to cross home plate. Although it’s more tangible, it’s also more crude simply because it ... (more) Is 'The Hawk' or 'The Rock' the lock?...
