Maybe the reason "puff pieces" are written about Ryno is because there is not a lot of bad things that can be said about him (other than the delusional rantings of Cubette of course). He wasn't a selfish player, his teammates loved him, his opponents admired him, his players respect him and he was never suspected of using steroids. Other than marrying his high school sweetheart who turned into a philandering wench, the guy didn't make a lof of mistakes. Actually, to be truthful, Ryno isn't exactly the friendliest person in the world. He was nothign but friendly and very accomodating when I met him and got him to sign a jersey and his book. Appeared very personable and friendly. JMO
