I'm not sure that I agree with Norbizness' claim that this list (1, 2) reflects East Coast Bias really holds water. While this has certainly historically been the case (although most of the marginal new York players, like Kelly, Rizutto, and Jackson were because of...

Mithras and iocaste easily dispose of the mind-numbing illogic of apologists for the tube shooting.
