Here's something interesting:

"For when it comes to arrogant, ungrateful athletes, this one leads the league."

This was written by a baseball sportswriter about:

1) Barry Bonds?

2) Ted Williams?

I'm sure that was written about Ted Williams. He had no use for the media, and they returned it in kind.

You hit .400+, you get away with a little arrogance. In fact, I'd say you'd have to be arrogant to hit .400. Kind of like a good surgeon, it takes some ego to do that.
