New Game

I want full credit if sometime in the future this takes off on the web (see facebook) and makes money. If it is already being done, sorry.

I want to create a CD with songs along the the following theme, you figure it out and add songs, no more than two at a time.

1."You got the Silver" Rolling Stones
2. "Raised on Robbery" Joni Mitchell

It is not exactly dice ball or sock ball, but great ideas come from...

Springtime for

Spring is almost here, pay no attention to the 8.5 inches of snow we just got. It was in the 60 several days earlier. Its been awhile and since it is baseball time again I thought I would kick off the year with a remembrance.

Bill Werber died this past year and before he died I couldn't have told you who he was. Bill was 100 and the last surviving major league player to play with and against Babe Ruth. In fact he was the last surviving ML to have played against Ruth while he was a Yankee.

He hit a respectable .271, 78 HR, 539 RBI's, 1,295 games and 215 SB's. He lead the majors in SB's three times.

So, hats off to Bill as I am sure that he is as happy as I am that spring training has begun and we can begin think about warmer days.

As a post script and in keeping with the theme of death, Dewey Martin passed away (a George Carlin remembrance) at age 68, former drummer of the ...well if you don't know you probably won't care. Cheers
