(about Dwight Kidder) Although this may sound strange, I'd like to suggest that both Andrew and Sheahan are _underrated_ at trash... Neither has played much of it, so I'm not sure there's a lot of data out there to support any conclusion that either is particularly great at it, but Andrew has singlehandedly won Chicago practices on trash packets, too. I'm not claiming that either is in the top 5 alltime (neither has significant "geek" knowledge, e.g. comic books, computer games, D&D, etc. but both are very strong, especially in TV, movies, and sports), but I wonder what would have happened if either had had an interest in playing lots of trash... I was happy to see shamsoftabriz (whoever that is; I don't read this board much anymore & certainly never kept track of nicknames) mention Josh Boorstein as his #6 alltime; I think that Josh is currently one of the most underrated former players (though he may not have been underrated in 1993). He used to regularly outscore Sheahan at ACF. Since Josh didn't have as, um, outgoing a personality as most of the rest of the mid-90s Chicago team, I don't think as many people remember him now, but he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. I still wish there had been some way to put the Boorstein, Sheahan, Freeman, and Edwards/Revuluri Chicago '94 team up against the Tech '96 team. Certainly my top 2 "non-masters" _teams_ ever. -MZ (mystified and amused to find himself but not Sheahan on Andy Goss' list...no need to reply saying you just forgot him)
