A sports talk show , before, the pre-game show on WCCO radio, pretty much bebunked the super star status for Lewis.
Sadly I lost the signal before the end of the show so I did not the final conclusion. (They were not impressed with his attitude.)
IF, IF, IF... that can be said about a fair number of players who came out of AAA like bottle rocket , but when Major League pitchers adapted turned into fizzling fire crackers.
That mantra has been proven to be wishful thinking and nothing more; if that were true, gents who have been let go , after a lot of game, would have fixed all their problems and still be a Twins player.
