...Mariners are now made of players like Edgar Martinez, a quietly stellar hitter who will be batting .300 with 125 RBIs well into his 50s. Bret Boone and John Olerud are fine players and deserving, but superstars? More like hometown voting passion. Likewise Cameron, Garcia, Sasaki and Nelson - none of these guys are going to make Rodriguez-type money or do Griffey-type commercial endorsements...
...That's who the fans want to see on the big mid-season stage (plus Cal Ripken)? Fine. It'll be the high point of the season for most of these guys - the combined fan-elected starting lineups of the AL and NL have all of two World Series rings between them.

To create this databank, Ehrmann put together the results of 4 million auctions plus other art indexes and benchmarks as well as information about more than 231,000 artists from the 4th century to the present. To access the databank, an art lover needs a subscription - $20, the minimum, gets you 20 searches - but soon anyone will be able to search the databank on a per-minute basis and be billed via phone bill. Ehrmann also provides wholesale rates...
