Shall never forget the Cleveland game a few years ago when Angel Hernandez made a very costly wrong out call on a fly to deep right, claiming he couldn't see it for the scoreboard lights and guessed. The episode should have been tagged "Return of the Grievous Angel," (Gram Parsons reference) because it so typified the worst ump ever.

Snaking - never thought about it.

Another fascinating Uncle Rusty video confirms my opinion that people who hate baseball are just too quick to judge and too lazy to investigate it. Whenever anybody told me of their hatred, that told me all I really needed to know about them.

Also, as Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) said in Moneyball, "How can you NOT be romantic about baseball?"

PS - "ecstasy in the lasagne" - thx for an early morning belly laugh, always a good thing.

You're welcome. And time with Rusty was never wasted because I always learned something interesting.

Thanks for the memory - the half-a-duplex my 3 house-mates and I lived in my last 2 years of college had that famous poster on the living room wall. A nice distraction from studying.

You're welcome. The other poster that was everywhere around then was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid shooting it out with the Federales and I wish I still had one of those.

Haven't heard that suggested, but you have a point. Although, I think some people have real estate downtown they'd like to make a profit on.

Thanks very much, Doretta. You'd feel differently if we were married, but until then, enjoy the humor.
