The blog will be free-form and wide-ranging, with reader feedback definitely appreciated. And as long as you don't want to talk about golf, "small-ball" or Nickelback, Jeff Blair may pop in online and chat.

Catching up with another Doc

Jeff Blair

I've told people that the two sweetest sights I saw covering the Montreal Expos were Rondell White's swing in BP and Doc Gooden's delivery whenever the Mets played Les Expos. Doc turned 45 (wow!) recently and Wayne Coffey of the New York Daily News has a nice read on the retired pitcher. Love the bit about Mantle saying one time that if he could be anybody, he'd want to be Gooden . . .
