GRI DDE PICKS The scene: a steamy Pittsburgh court room. The neatly dressed prosecutor pulls a handkerchief from his breast pocket and slowly mops his brow. He takes a deep breath, puts both hands on the table in front of him, and pulls himself to his feet. "Mr. Hernandez," said the prosecutor, "did you play Griddes with Lonnie Smith?" "Yes," comes the meek response. "Mr. Hernandez, did you play Grid des with Joaquin Andujar? "And did you play Griddes with those two men during the 1982 World Series?" "Yes, yes I did!" says the ball player, bursting into tears and covering his face. "I rest my case, your honor." It is true that not everyone who has played Griddes in the past has been clean cut and All-American. But Griddes is entering a new season, and hopefully the respectability of the combatants will rise.
