Just to add to this vein, consider that range of a first baseman is not the only important thing. He is IMO the best fielder of bad throws from the other infielders. I have seen him scoop balls out of the dirt, catch balls off a large bounce, take down balls over his head, wide, etc. ad infinitum. *And* he gets the ...

I'm very grateful for scott's reflections on this oft-quoted phrase. Could someone please remind me of the Scriptural source for it? (Rom. 12.9 doesn't count, kids.)
