...Mattingly's many offensive accomplishments in his first four years have led several to compare him to such legends as Stan Musial, Ted Williams and Lou Gehrig. Mattingly has already snagged an MVP award, a batting title and an RBI title--something no player has done in his first three full seasons.

These indicate that the star's atmosphere, which astronomers have determined is exploding outward at a speed...
Like Tolins, Andrew Gardner (Sid Down) has perfect on-stage demeanor. He, like almost everyone else, is victimized by the material, particularly in a scene with Stan Byeme (Ted Stimpson) that has to rank among the show's absolute lowlights.
