I had dinner with Dick to start the 82 season. Nice guy who should be missed by all Reds fans.

I watched all day Sunday. Wonderful not to have to watch over paid jerks toss a ball through a hoop. Pro and College.

US is out of the WBC? I can hear the lunatic fringe tomorrow in Fatty Limberger's show blaming the early demise on Liberals. What next?

Bode Miller may be having a bad Olympics but I sure wish I could ski as well as him. Thankfully I don't have the world watching me and criticizing every little thing I do.

Just thinking about other guys that didn't play the game but should be in the HOF. Yosh Kawano, the Cubs clubhouse guy. He has been with that club in some capacity since before WWII. During part of the war he was "interrned" at a camp in Nevada or Utah when Mr Wrigley put him on the payroll. He has been the clubhouse man for over 60 years. When he was a kid, and the team trained on Santa Catalina, he was the batboy. How much of one's life do one have to give before they get some real recognition?

I met Buck in 1981 at the NLCS. What a wonderful man, full of stories and a smile that brightens your life. At the time he was employed by the Cubs, the last time they had a baseball man on the payroll.

Sports Illustrated's All-Time All-Star Team
Yogi Berra ahead of Mickey Cochrane? Seems as though a poll of sportswriters in 1970 rated Black Mike the best of all time and berra had retired.
