Salmon honored by writers

If Vladimir Guerrero's third-inning home run doesn't come off in print like it actually looked, you can blame Tim Salmon. Nearly all of the print media was in the press box dining room at the time Guerrero went deep to give Salmon an award. Salmon was presented with the "Good Guy Award," given on occasion by the Baseball Writers Association of America L.A./Anaheim chapter. Hey, if you make the media's life a little easier and forge a decent relationships with the writers, it is possible to get a tacky wooden and brass momento than can be hung on your wall. We really don't expect it to hang in the Salmon residence, but he's such a good guy, you actually never know.
