+1 on the Valentine choice.

Also saw other candidates include Ryne Sandberg, Darren Brown, and Don Mattingly.

Small ball has it's time and place in a game, but never as a blanket philosophy throughout a season. Although I do enjoy watching big leaguers actually have to revert to performing the fundamentals of the game. If a guy in the bigs can't lay down a bunt in a crucial time of the game that tells you a little about his baseball prowess. It's why I enjoy watching the National League a little better than the American League.
