Steel is a stats freak; numbers guy; goes back to time as a kid; Steel used to chart players daily in a spiral notebook; so, good stats guys who aren't tools have always earned Steel's fandom. As far as Steel knows, Jete has always conducted himself well, despite being in the cesspool of NYC media and also with the bonus of tapping a lot of hot Tang.
Steel is from St. Louis, so team-wise that is #1 and Rangers are #2 and everyone else, team-wise, don't matter. Except that Steel wishes the worst always on the Cubs, Brewers, Mets, Phillies and Angels. Steel hopes all their players die ina fiery plane crash and their fans all contract cancer. Especially the Cubs.
