SWEET LOU .. is in the Detroit HOF... THE GREATEST EVER! smoked a pack during the game.. overcame some type of leg illness as a child in NY to not only walk by turn two in Tiger Stadium. I will never forget walking into Tiger Stadium as a child and seeing that beautiful stadium/field then have my old man say, "watch LOU son, watch LOU turn two!" BP was the greatest and still is, it beats the hell out of the game in my OPINION.. SWEET LOU WHITAKER the greatest 2nd basemen ever!

also, that is one GREAT group of players above!

I highly recommend reading the GLORY OF THE THEIR TIMES by Ritter.

ROGER HORNSBY must have been soooooome kind of ballplayer.

That is who impressed my the most after reading that classic baseball book.

 

[Fishhead]

ORTIZ-WALKER-NOMAR-MUELLAR ahd a pretty good year last year as an infield....wouldnt you say??

 

[wilheim]

I love baseball so I have to do this for maybe the 3rd or 4th time in over 8000 posts.

Terence Mann: Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it's money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered they're heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. And the memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

love the movie wil...the only thing is they had joe jackson batting right-handed! how the hell could they do that? liotta can't hit lefty??? find another actor, then. even with that tragic flaw, i still loved that movie.

 

[Kodiak7]

that bothered me also.. SHIT he threw left handed in the Movie.. Its not like his right handed cut was that good anyway...

it also bothered me that his teeth were not black and he sounded somewhat smart when he spoke.. Joe Jackson was by no means a SMART man, not even close by what I have come to understand..
