Rob, tell us some more!!! hehe

how about...

-watching a special segment yesterday following the news...that honored baseball's greats--the Say Hey Kid, Joltin' Joe...

-Watching the Say Hey Kid (Willie May's) highlights...including the one that is so famous (catching the ball in his cap)

-Listening to Lon Simmons, back in the 1960's, calling the home runs w/"AND TELL IT GOODBYE!!!" and to think that Lon Simmons is still an occasional Giants broadcaster today, still using the "Tell it Goodbye!"

-Watching the beautiful Closing Ceremony of the old ballpark, and bringing in the NEW ballpark!!

-how only baseball players could play almost every day for half a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-listening to the famous calls of old--from announcers like Russ Hodges (sp?), to the famous calls of today--like the Yankees announcer, who goes "AND the Yankeees win!! The Yaannkees win!"

-seeing yesterday's news, w/Pedro having 16 K's!!! WOW.

-and then, seeing Randy Johnson, of the AZ Diamondbacks, get hit hard---YEAH!! Sorry I hate the D'backs--plus, Johnson was the one whose fastball hit lovely J.T. Snow's face in '97. Well, it also proves that Baseball is an up and down game--that's what makes baseball great! Anyone can be a hero, and anyone can fail!
