Turkish Trophies were a brand of cigarettes popular in the early 1900s" http://marksephemera.blogspot.com/2013/03/tales-of-turkish-trophies.html
Cigarettes, I guess it makes sense. I'm sure Turkish tobacco was big back then..exotic and foreign. Were Camel's always made in the USA? In googling Turkish Trophies I found a link on the history for cigarettes 1900-1946. In it there was this. So the Marlboro Man was really an English Fop who moved west! How was america so bamboozled by this ! http://archive.tobacco.org/resources/history/tobacco_history20-1.html
Hey AJ how come that Phenom that you told me about is back in the Minor Leagues? Almost back to .500 now, when do we play the Cubs for 1st place?
I have Tavarez on reserves on my roto team and was hoping that AJ could pull some strings and get the Cards to call him up.
First meeting is May 7 and 8th.....then not again until June 17th :?: I don't understand this.....hell, the Sox and Yanks will have played each other 15 times by then.
Here's Denard Robinson throwing out the first pitch at Detroit. Rumors are that Johnny Football threw out the first pitch at the Rangers game and got it all the way to the catcher. FWIW I have read a lot of times that while you think it'd be easy to throw the ball from the pitchers mound to the catcher without bouncing it...turns out it is for a baseball player for the rest of us it's not that easy.
Doc, I played hardball for 9 years, have 14 years coaching experience in little league and juniors. I am a Baseball fanatic. In the winter time I would supplement my income by advertising on the bottom of my boxing shoes.
I saw that the Red Sox sell out streak ended tonight. I'm not really sure what that's about, but I found it interesting.
