Mark,

I have to disagree with those announcers. I don't know exactly how much help
Reggie and Len would be right now. They would both be in the twilight of
their careers at 36 & 37 years old. Maybe the could be senior cheerleaders
(ML types waving towels). Tommy H. could be a veteran presence on the bench
also, but I don't necessarily want to see him in uniform. :)

Subject: Tommy's comments last night


	
Heinson was interviewed during the game last night.  He was the usual 
hyper-optimistic Tommy, stating that "while other teams were shooting for 
being contenders now, the C's were building with youth.

He said we would have a breakout year, and he used a phrase like "the C's 
will be near to top echelon of teams"

He would make no prediction on when a title was coming.

The memory of Len Bias and Reggie is still alive.  The announcers ( whom I 
think probably were fans who won some lottery to call the game) did make a 
good point in saying that Bias (maybe, how old would he be?) and certainly 
Reggie would be the veteran presence the C's seem to need.


Of course, they also talked about how Battie came on strong at the end of 
the season last year.  I don't remember it that way...
