SIX SHOOTER - 6 Questions shot by The Pistol

SIX SHOOTER - 6 Questions Fired by The Pistol, is back this month and today's target is former Chicago Cubs owner and current brother Jim Spellos. Spellos the Younger left the Cubbies (now the Twins) late last year due to many time constraints in his professional and personal life. "The Cubster" joined the MBL with Spellos the Elder (seen here at the SF Giants Champiohsip Gala) in 1999, due to the latter's incestuous relationship with the Montgomery Clan of LV nee NYC.


What was your favorite gift your received for Chrtistmas?

Jim - The Book “The Game 7 I Should Never Have Lost” by Jack Buchanan. I hear it’s an easy read.

What will you miss about the MBL?
Jim - I’ve missed being a full time participant the past few years. It was a lot of fun when you & I joined, but I just don’t have the time to put into it and be fair to all of the owners anymore. Blame it on rock & roll…but I will offer the CD when it comes out to the league members at a special rate.

Excited to be covering the WBC for MLB.com?
Jim - Let’s see. Six days in Puerto Rico, splitting time between the baseball games & the beach. What’s not to love? Consider the fact that the last time I was in Puerto Rico for MLB.com I was covering the Expos, and that was way too much fun.

Can your favorite team, the REAL NY Mets make it to the 2006 WS?
Jim - Hope so, and they have to be one of the favorites. However, I think World Series expectations might be a bit too high for this year. A lot would have to come together quickly.

Eric Clapton or Jerry Garcia?
Jim - Well… Chateau Petrus or Rothchild? Van Gogh or Monet? Snickers or Pop Tarts? Some choices are just too tough to make.

It's game 7 – Any pitcher, any era. Who starts for you?
Jim - Sandy Koufax. Most dominant pitcher of his (albeit brief) era.
