Especially the all decade team...  I'm going to spend some time looking at the decade and see if I can find anything better...  Not sure I can find it.  At the very least, there were some memorable events worth highlighting.  Seriously though, if I can't do better than Laroche as the decades best 1B I'm going to need therapy.

At the very least, I hit Bradenton in March 6 times in the decade.  And that, is a treat regardless of the Bucs' record.  Many fond memories at McKechnie field.  And despite the hopeful attitude of spring training in Florida, one of my favorite memories was jawing at Littlefield, "Have a great season Dave and by the way, how's your resume looking these days?".

Cheers (and go bucs!)
