To bunt or not to bunt doesn't even qualify as a legitimate question anymore. Certainly not in the American League, at least. Especially if we're talking about bunts of the sacrificial kind.
However, that doesn't mean it can't be the subject for healthy debate.
What, you ask, brings this topic up for discussion -- other than trying to make a connection between Buck Showalter, the Orioles' resident managerial mastermind, and the Earl (Weaver) of Baltimore? The answer to that one is as easy as it is obvious -- the current state of affairs with the Orioles when it comes to using the bunt, always a popular, if little used tradition in Baltimore.
