It made for some good post-vacation reading.

18: I think it IS a reversed image. Doesn’t the figure under his lead arm look like a reversed 4?

29: Alas, I was unable to find a Win, as usual.

For the NBA, it is the duo of Alaa Abdelnaby and Matt Zunic. Baseball had the better deal with Hammerin’ Hank and Dutch Zwilling.

When the chrikey is the Josh Man returning? My daily reading now, consisting of the all-star game and Bonds told by cookie-cutting scribes that over use puns, and are nothing more than yes-men stroking the establishment, is making my eyes bleed and my brain burn.

If I’m not mistaken, Lasorda tells a story about a player that stiffed him for an autograph when he was a kid. He later pitched to said player in the minors when he (Tommy) was working his way up and the other guy was working his way down. Drilled him in the back.

I don’t think I’d have the nerve to just ask hank, “what do you think of barry bonds?” although that to me is the truly nagging question, but that’s what I’d like to ask.

out of respect for the man, I’m sure if I had the actual chance I’d become a stuttering mess and ask something like, “how did you get so awesome?”

The offices were in left field overlooking the field where you could watch the game from a large window.

It was good to find out that Hank Aaron while a little standoffish was a nice man as opposed to the GM who thought quite a bit of himself and was a bit of a jerk.

He and Hank both homered in the same inning of a game in 1962.

What would you say to Josh Wilker if he were here? Dear Josh, I never had a Don Aase card. I hope you got one. How did that guy make the 1986 all-star team?

Let’s move on to Tommie Aaron, next in line from an alphabetical standpoint. As a kid, I used to get him confused with Tommy Aaron the golfer. This was in the days before ESPN so I had no idea what alot of athletes looked like unless they had a wirephoto in the local fishrap.

If it’s a while before Josh comes back, I’ll start talking about Don Aase. Did you know that he was born the same day that SEATO was established? More interestingly, he debuted the same day as Jack Morris and Jim Clancy.
