Despite threats of a strike and lockout that loomed over baseball like an ominous thunder cloud most of the summer, this season will have a lasting impact on the sport and one player's place in baseball history. Before elaborating, I would just like to mention that with Nostredamas-like foresight, I believe a certain Cavalier Daily columnist predicted the clash of titanic proportions that took center stage this past Sunday night: Rally Monkey vs.
