SAN FRANCISCO -- From MiLB.com, to MLB.com and now to the Baseball Hall of Fame's official Web site. Speaking with legends of the game like David Winfield and Juan Marichal is bound to take you somewhere, that's for sure. This weekend has been ridiculous, that's the only word I can use to summarize it. The city, the event, the stories...just ridiculous.Click here to read about two Hall of Famers giving back to baseball's next generation of stars.
For the record, both Winfield and Marichal are, without a doubt, the best interviews I've ever had. It's nice to talk to a couple of players with a bit of poetry in their words instead of the normal cliche machines most athletes are. Winfield has a bit of wit about him I've never encountered in an athlete, he slips in some jokes and sly remarks effortlessly, which makes the interview process that much more fun. As for Marichal, he doesn't speak the best English, but he speaks it well enough. And like I've said before, people with some grasp of the English language usually command it better, and Marichal was no different. He didn't say a lot, but what he said was definitely powerful.
