Folks are itching to get to this one, so let’s get this party started. Like the bats, you can send your Top 10 list to enfieldmass-top10arms[at]yahoo[dot]com (link will open your preferred email client) or post them in the comments. Once we have enough votes, I’ll weight ’em in reverse order (#1 = 10 points, #2 …
As it was a year ago, there was a clear consensus on the top three bats. Even the WaPo beat writers could name them. After that, it was like telling apart Hollywood’s leading men named Chris.
