On this date in 1948: Bab Ruth makes his final public appearance at the premiere of "The Babe Ruth Story" in New York. The movie will become known as probably the worst baseball film ever, with an uncoordinated actor playing Ruth's part and a script full of hyperbole and apocrypha. Ruth leaves the movie early and will die of throat cancer three weeks later.
I wish I had been able to see Babe Ruth play. He must have been fun to watch.
Its Shark week on Discovery.
I like sharks, but Jaws screwed me up for all time. Everytime I go in the ocean (or Gulf as thats what I live on) I think I'm gonna get eaten.
Jaws done did it to me, stupid Spielberg!
Where is the summer going?

I just woke up *yawn* I'm going eating :thumbup:
I heard tonight that Shawn Estes scored his 8th run on the season, and was the leader in that category for starting pitchers. Does anyone know what the record is for runs scored for starting pitchers for a season? I'm guessing that Tom Glavine is close to the lead.

What did you want to be when you grew up?
When I grow up I want to be a principal or a caterpillar.
(for you Simpson's fans)
I wanted to be 6 feet tall, but I ended up only being 5'7.Quote:

I was planning on taking over for Davey Concepcion as Reds SSQuote:

RFS took my answer, I wanted to be a catcher for the Reds.
That or I wanted to work for Nasa.
I got close to my 2nd goal however. I just build the rockets for Nasa, instead of working for them.
I'm jealous of you jm
I wanted to be healthy, happy and wise....two out of three ain't bad.
What 2? :D
I wanted to be Doc Hollywood or Hal McCoy.
But I ended up with a better job.
I also considered joining the air force
Dorothy Johnson sued Kenmore Inc. for the death of her dog. After washing the poodle, she placed it in her Kenmore microwave, "just a few minutes, on low," to dry it off. The case was dismissed.
What a sick lady
I'm still working on that Hal McCoy job. ;) (I don't really consider myself grown up yet.)Quote:

:thumbup: Rosie
I'm going to try and stay awake..I got up at 11 last night so my goal is to go to sleep at about 11 tonight..this sleep all day stuff is getting old :D
I went to bed at 5 a.m. and got up at 1 p.m. :thumbup: And on another note ...
On this date in 1930: Cincinnati's Ken Ash faces only one batter -- but gets credit for a full inning pitched and a victory. Ash relieves in the sixth inning with two Cubs on base and nobody out, and promptly induces Charlie Grimm to ground into a triple play. The Reds then score four runs in the bottom of the inning to give Ash the 6-5 win.
Where was he when we needed him last night? ;)Quote:
