Mantle is...A graceful piece you wrote there, Daley. Mantle is always "Mantle" or "The Mick," never full name. Maris is "Maris," not "Roger." Yogi, well, there's only one. And you have to use two names for Whitey Ford, because using just one could be confused with others by the same names. (No one is named "Whitey" anymore, for obvious reasons. Instead we get "Lastings Milledge." But he didn't last.) <br />I've never been to an opening day. But each one inspires dreams. Until 2004, they never came true.

Spent a great evening on Saturday watching the Os and the Nats go at it in a half-empty stadium, but enjoyed gazing over at the Capitol dome at dusk. There's nothing like being there in person -- especially when you're right near the Dippin' Dots stand!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107295497878383342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494950840722312924.post-14346085768977377572009-04-07T19:14:00.000-07:002009-04-07T19:14:00.000-07:00Some where in Chicago lives a gal who is still wai...Some where in Chicago lives a gal who is still waiting for her dream series, Tigers vs Cubs. Those damn Padres snatched it away in 84, but hope springs eternal and she thinks this may be the year. She is obviously delusional.<BR/>Nice piece, looking forward to more.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235397535846882117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494950840722312924.post-41337663514046048842009-04-07T12:55:00.000-07:002009-04-07T12:55:00.000-07:00Ah, Squire -- grand to see you spin these electron...Ah, Squire -- grand to see you spin these electronic pearls and show these blogster amateurs how a True Pro does it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761963508036366204noreply@blogger.com
