Is there not some theory about your unborn baby picking up info, vibes, culture, thought, etc. from you while you are still carrying. If so, why are you bending the child's mind participating in Caf? Should you not be reading the great classics aloud to him or something? Good luck and all the joy in the world, sweet lady

He can't HEAR anything the people hear say, so I don't feel I'm corrupting him on here....much. Plus, he WILL love Manchester United, or he'll move out. ;)

He is read to every evening (Winnie the Pooh -- the book, not the Disney stuff -- and Dr Seuss) and gets the music played as well. We have all the Baby Einstein CDs.

Thanks for the wishes. :)

when will you be screening Apocalypse Now for the little amniotic fluid covered tyke? ;)
 
"Somebody Up There Likes Me" is a great sports movie. Paul Newman's breakout role.

At least nobody has suggested "Days of Thunder"!

I hadn't thought of that. But now that I have (thank you so much) I think we'll wait awhile. A long while. :)

He was my all-time favorite. Saw him and Billy a few times around Manhattan. It wasn't pretty. Now that I think about it, it probably wasn't him.

Kenny, you are too young to remember but when Mick came to the bigs in the 50s, he was about 19 years old. A fresh-faced, innocent kid from Oklahoma with a remarkable talent and speed. Unfortunately, he got in with the Whitey Ford crowd. They were big city boys who could drink and knew what they were doing. He had stars in his eyes but was inexperienced with life in the big city. What happened to Mick: the injuries, the pain he suffered through, the alcoholism, was a tragedy of Shakepearean proportions. What he went through dying no man should have to do. It was truly a heartbreak. Sorry for digressing but baseball is about its history, too. (Eyes filling up with tears). Billy's tale was a heartbreak, too, by the way.

The Mickey Mantle documentary on HBO was fantastic.

Mickey Mantle and George Best are almost identical sports heroes when you compare the two. (and both #7 as well)


you'll appreciate this BabsChuck, my great uncle was the batboy for the 1927 Yankees...I wrote about it in a post awhile back...I'll find you the link

I think they made a horrible sequel.

How about "Roller Boogie"? Does that count as sport?
 
A friend of mine has a bat that Babe Ruth used. He has several others from that era, but I can't recall the names. I know the Babe Ruth one has notches and tobacco juice stains.

i always used to hate the jets as a giants fan, but in the past few years ive grown quite sick of the giants and their fans and have found myself paying more attention to the jets.

this is probably quite an act of treachery ive committed, but eh, asi es la vida.

If you speak Spanish you should be a San Diego Charger fan - like all the best people in the world :nervous:

Interesting point about Best and the Mick. Now that I'm wiping the tears off the keyboard, I'm thinking of Mick's funeral. Do you remember, the whole thing was on TV? It was Bob Kostas' finest hour. Weren't the 27 Yanks the Gashouse Gang? I don't go that far back.

All right, so your fat ass danced on the field and now you own a hall of fame baseball bat. Do you always have to one-up everyone? XXX (I don't use smilies)

27 Yanks were Murderers Row...Gashouse was the Cardinals I believe.


I remember the funeral...I was in Chicago at the time.
 
I saw a highlight yesterday where some bloke on third got tagged by the old hidden ball trick. Bet you don't see that very often.

every once in a hwile someone gets caught on that! I saw it too. I love the hidden ball trick...it's such a great funny part of baseball that goes all the way down to the little league when you first learn the game. We used to do it all the time, and the person that gets caught feels like a right twat. :lol:

always know where the ball is! ;)

You can just imagine what the catcher said to him as he was leaving!

At least ten years ago I saw Mike Schmidt and Glenn Wilson of the Phillies do it to get the guy turning toward home out. Last time I remember it. They were falling on their bums laughing.

And you became a Pats fan around January 2002 would be my guess.

And is a Red Sox fan.

So I assume you must have relocated to Mass or RI or Conn or some other New England state.

Otherwise, you have bandwaggon written all over.

Does anyone else find it strange how there are so many Pats fans these days?
