I dig into the archives for classic interviews, including one with Johnny Bench taking me to task for a Pete Rose question, and Mark McGwire in 1998 not liking my line of questioning as well. Plus Brett Hull torches Mike Keenan, says screw having his number retired in St. Louis as he leaves and signs with Dallas. And the ever elusive Stan Kroenke gushing over St. Louis getting the Rams in 1995...as does Jerry Jones in 1998. Little did we know they would be the main players helping the team load back up to LA..
