Looking back at baseball's 1996 first round picks
Why '96? Because that's the year I picked, okay? Stop asking questions.
I picked out names I recognized - not too many could be called stars. Eric Chavez at one time, maybe. A reminder that a first-round pick does not guarantee stardom.
I wonder if Newsday went nuts when a kid from West Babylon was picked fourth...
