Be interesting to see what he could do without the shackles of modern Stern.

I'd love to see him working with Spooky and/or CGC.

I don't understand why people are hankering for an AC/DC code update.

It wins my award for shortest innings ever! Didn't enjoy it. But that's just me and for a totally different thread
