(I think I am beleaguered trying to stay apace the craziness of American politics and the strife tearing at the wider world. As I was pondering a topic for this Sunday’s piece, I thought with disgust of Tucker Carlson, a pseudo journalist who managed to interview Vladimir Putin without asking hard questions about the war against Ukraine or the treatment of Alexi Navalny, who stood fearlessly against the dictator’s oppression. Carlson later explained to those of us less wise and sophisticated as he, “Leaders sometimes have to kill people.” He never mentioned that murder is easier when no one calls the politician to account.
So you’re not saying it was Trump attorney Ty Cobb who would play dirty by sliding into opposing counsel’s table cleats at the ready? Think I once exceeded the boundaries of bb namedropping when attempting to convince our daughter the doctor that the sleep-inducing substance melatonin had been first introduced by famed NY Giants right fielder Mel Ott. :)
Soooo much crap going on it's hard to concentrate on anything that's not catastrophic...baseball & spring training is(are ?) good therapy...stay sane...
Thanks JB. Does anyone live like that anymore? I'll bet even our lard and savor Mike Johnson doesn't have discipline like that. I'm still waiting for someone to catch Mikey in a closet with a little girl. Or, he'll pull a Swagert.
I do not know of anyone who has never drank, smoked, or gone to a movie or all three, back in my day all three at once. That speaks to the times though too. Have a great BB season. Go Astros! Go Rangers!

Thanks for sharing not only current events but a whimsical and poignant tale about a member of my family.

Play Ball! Now it’s my grandson Mike who loves the game, like his Dad and his Grandfather and his GreatGrandfather before him.
