comparing baseball to politics doesn't work to well.

wannabe? i have tee shirts from the day after the dodgers, managed by walt alston, won the first world series, with a picture of a hobo and the headline from the new york daily news that reads, "WHOSE A BUM"

i have a franklin mint model of ebbets field. i have a wall plaque that has national league champions with a photo of the players.

i have a souvenir base ball in bronze with ebbets field engraved on it. and on the back of a picture of me and my mg taken a few days after i bought the car which i picked up from a dealer right after pee wee reese threw to first on a ground ball, the runner was out and the dodgers beat the yankees 4 - 3.

i have a replica brooklyn shirt and a shirt that was given to me by my son made from the same cloth the dodgers used for their uniforms.

baseball ended for me sep 24, 1957, when my team moved to california to become the los angeles dodgers.

pee wee reese, captain of the dodgers mad $25,000. a year and when fans heard about it, especially kids, we wee surprised. they pay you to play baseball, why? i'll play for nutin.

are you a johnny come lately to baseball, when steroids

were needed to compete for million dollar contracts.

it ain't the same.

If that's true, then why do you shoot your mouth off about something you dont follow anymore? And owning all those items doesnt make you a fan.

I don't know a lot about baseball, but I know a lot about airplanes. I like talking to the old guys about airplanes. They have forgotten more about the stuff that I read about in my airplane periodicals than I'll ever learn.......

(I know what you're thinking.)LOL!

Rick, when I was a little boy on Long Island, the Giants had been gone for a short time but I vividly remember the energizing Dodger- Yankee rivalries.

You were either a Dodger (formerly Giant) fan or for the Yankess- no in between.

We pretended to be Maris, Whitey, Mantle, Wills, Pepitone, Koufax, etc. as we played ball.

Guys like Clemente, Cepeda, & Colavito were revered as well.

We loved our heroes and they loved us back.

There was nothing like it.

Nowadays, fuhgetaboutit.

*See the World Series thread.

who asked for your opinion? lately you are so full of rage, i wonder what happened to you since your new name.
