Your prolly correct, Mike. He was getting second call for Takter. If he was able to commit his life to the east coast dominating demands, he was all business. I don't think he fully committed to that lifestyle. A number of talents have stepped in and ran away quick.
I have watched Brett from 1999 sport a .350 driving against Case, Hawk, Tharps, Grismore when they were at their best. Shame about the addictions or who knows...
