Cordell, 32, one afternoon from a second Iron Jug

Rip Cordell has been doing this for ten seasons and has exactly one Iron Jug to show for it, won in 1987, when he was young enough that everybody assumed there would be more. There were not. He is thirty-two. The argument about where he belongs has been running for most of a decade and it ends, one way or the other, on Sunday.
