...heard about it yet, the book just hit the stands. I look forward to perhaps getting a nicely wrapped dead gerbil or something like that [in the 1980s, Kingman infamously mailed a dead rat to a reporter. Past winners of this "award," besides Kingman, include Steve Balboni, Fred Lynn, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire. The 2007 winner was Cincinnati Reds catcher Dave Ross, who hit 17 home runs - with a mere 39 RBIs. He hit just .203, and struck out 92 times in 311 at bats...

Ashton, though, is no ninny; stern and balding, he has the gruff gravitas of Fred Thompson or Rudy Giuliani, if either of them had got past their Presidential-primary gaffes and into the White House. And he is ready with heroic quotes for any occasion. When his adviser pleads, "Mr. President, we have to act strong," Ashton snaps back, "No, we have to be strong...
