    In the Cleveland - Boston series?

    With all due respect to my good friend Jif, it would be great if my boyhood team the Indians could win a their first World Series since 1948.

    Bill,

    The Indians are getting the job done on the sox aren't they? Another 7 run inning last night. Home fans are thrilled at this point.

    Geez Bill,
    I bet you can remember when Bob Hope owned a piece of the action :D
    Though I'm a "pinstripper" I gotta say it could be an interesting series if the Tribe can close the deal.

    The FAT LADY might just as well sing away! In April I told Theo no matter how much pitching he had...no team can win with Crisp, Lugo, Drew in the lineup. He said Ellsbury will be our savior. Ive watched for 4 games now while Ellsbury sits on the pine. ( Pitchers and catchers in 120 days) jiffer

    I do remember when Bob Hope had a piece of the action. I remember Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, Luke Easter, Larry Doby and there are many other names stuck in the back part of my brain right now.

    Oh, I remember that fantastic catch Say Hey Willie Mays made in deep center field of the Polo Grounds to help beat my Indians in the World Series.

    In terms of politically incorrect names, I give the nod to Putnam County:

    Somebody needs to take Corey out behind the woodshed for posting that picture...

    I clawed out my left eye, and still haven't gotten that image out of my head!

    Me too Scott, I think the big F on her uniform stands for Fordham.

    Yes, that should be a ratings bonanza for the network who has the rights to broadcast it.

    It will probably finish a distant second to re-runs of "The Big Valley" on the western channel.

    That's a possibility. She certainly has the room on her outfit to spell it out in any event.
