Tripped up because I guess Tommy Helms never got in at first base? But the number of Reds catchers with 100 rbi is probably pretty small, so I wouldn't have stayed under 10 anyway.

When Jim Banner recruited me for the updated Presidential Misconduct collection, I was busy finishing Fault Lines and joked that I could only handle a light load, so I’d do Carter. But I found he was, if anything, *too* ethical, bending over backward to be transparent. Seems a world away from us.
