Dave's subject is a good one...here's my 2 cents:

I played Little League Baseball (!), went to the same high school, and same 
college, with Don Slaught, former catcher in the past few years of the Kansas 
City Royals.  I heard he was just recently traded to the Texas Rangers, though.

He only started to get recognition the past couple years, since they had
Darrel Porter and another guy (forgot his name) ahead of him, but he had started
to prove himself at the plate though, hitting over .270 last year in a semi-
full time role. He also had a good playoff series this past year against the
Detroit Tigers, hitting over .300 I think. I was quite surprised of his trade
to Texas as I thought he had finally made a place for himself at K.C. He is not
of superstar caliber, but is what you would call a solid ballplayer who can
hold himself defensively, and has proven he can hit major league pitching. 
Some of you more diehard baseball fans have probably heard of him. I wish him
the best of luck in the Texas organization.
