   Pedro Guerrero was playing third base for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1984   
   when he made the comment that earns him a place in my Hall of Fame.  Second   
   baseman Steve Sax was having trouble making his throws.  Other players were   
   diving, screaming, signaling for a fair catch.  At the same time, Guerrero,   
   at third, was making a few plays that weren't exactly soothing to manager   
   Tom Lasorda's stomach.  Lasorda decided it was time for one of his famous   
   motivational meetings and zeroed in on Guerrero: "How can you play third   
   base like that?  You've gotta be thinking about something besides baseball.   
   What is it?"   
   	"I'm only thinking about two things," Guerrero said.  "First, `I   
   hope they don't hit the ball to me.'"  The players snickered, and even   
   Lasorda had to fight off a laugh.  "Second, `I hope they don't hit the ball   
   to Sax.'"
