Jeff Bagwell: may be headed to the Hall without the fame: Astros slugging first baseman has been a consistent producer whose achievements in the game receive modest attention.(Houston Astros)
HE CAN'T THROW AS WELL AS many of the youngsters who watch him play. He freely admits that no youngster should ever try to copy how he hits.
When, during the course of a two-home run afternoon last July, he rocketed his 400th career homer at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park, the ball wound up in the possession of a local youngster whose reaction was almost predictable. The 9-year-old boy had never heard of Jeff Bagweell.
"Hey, that's cool," says Bagwell, the best basher in Houston Astros history. "He doesn't need to know who I am. It's only important that he knows who Barry Larkin is."
