Through a friend of my daughter I got to meet him for dinner one night in 15' and he was very friendly and cordial (he is from Sarasota Florida were I live now) so it's very interesting how perceptions are formed. Did he just mellow with age and Reese saw the real person or was it just a bad night for him?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674150694486256724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-24092105252213809572017-04-17T15:13:31.519-04:002017-04-17T15:13:31.519-04:00not a wizard...

I used to attend the Mets Welcome Home dinners with my father in New York City. As a child I was awestruck by having my heroes so close to me. It was always on the eve of Opening Day at Shea and in this first year I attended after the event was over they announced players would be available for autographs. Considering what you had to spend to attend the event, it was the least they could do. <br /><br />The minute the event was over Wayne Garrett bolted for the door, nearly knocking me down in the process. Wayne Garrett? Geez, it's not like he was an All-Star or anything. <br /><br />By contrast, Rusty Staub got up, took off his sportcoat, folded it neatly on the back of the chair, then announced, "All I ask is that you form an orderly line, but I'll stay here all night until I've seen everyone." <br /><br />I've never forgiven Wayne Garrett.

Her life, and her career, didn't go well as time went on which I'd like to think was karma for this night.<br /><br />These past three starts by Syndergaard, deGrom, and Harvey were bizarre. To come away with these kind of results must be an abberation. <br /><br />As I mentioned in an earlier comment, Tebow will knock in his fair share of runs, but will hit below .200 for the season. It sells tickets so I guess I have signed on to this carnival act.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-70920412149879565212017-04-17T08:09:06.146-04:002017-04-17T08:09:06.146-04:00Does what Olivia Newton John did have anything to ...Does what Olivia Newton John did have anything to do with her biggest character being named Sandy? I conclude no, what she did was awful, our guy named Sandy always tries (and sometimes it works).<br /><br />I touch on it tomorrow - Grandy is not hitting in April again. Face the stats, bench him until May 1.<br /><br />Tebow is going to be interesting to follow this year - I touch on that tomorrow briefly, too.<br /><br />we will miss D Wit of D Whit.
