There’s a show on MLBN right now ranking the 25 best pitching performances ever.

They just showed Kerry Wood at 15.

I changed the channel.

Former Cub, Oscar Gamble, died.  Who can forget that Afro.

I was stationed in San Antonio in the late 1960s and watched him play there.  At that time he was very fast and had a very strong arm, but was strictly a line drive hitter.  Later, he lost the speed and arm, but really gained home run power.

In retrospect, getting rid of Zambrano may have been one of the more important moves made by the Theocracy.

P2, thanks much for that link.  What an inspiring story.  Man,  often think the inner life must be so hard, incredibly hard, for pro athletes.  So much adulation, so much criticism, so broad an avenue to pride and self-sufficiency, easy for the heart to become empty.  Pretty neat to hear Z's story.

If it hadn't been for Monday, we wouldn't even have an American flag today.

My bet is that most of the American flags which were in use in the mid-70's are not around today.
