I wonder if that house/shed is still there. If so, you probably can't see it from inside the complex anymore, though.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306517232646924007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-58809400851124274152011-06-14T13:28:32.751-04:002011-06-14T13:28:32.751-04:00Marc - Yeah, the whole 24-7 news cycle really gets...Marc - Yeah, the whole 24-7 news cycle really gets to be exhausting. Everyone was ready to tar and feather Bryce Harper (Nats' top prospect) for blowing a kiss to a pitcher after homering off of him, and they didn't even have the whole story. It turns out the pitcher had been mouthing off to him.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-66576090341583898222011-06-14T08:45:46.646-04:002011-06-14T08:45:46.646-04:00The Nolan Ryan story is the kind of thing that wou...The Nolan Ryan story is the kind of thing that would never happen today or, if it did, the media and fans would react with outrage. Players today are expected to never show weakness or doubt even humorously. I think players back then (and certainly fans and media) took things less seriously, maybe because the players made a lot less money.<br /><br />Jim Northrup died this week as well. This makes me feel old; I remember watching these guys in the 1968 World Series (although those games were in the day so I couldn't see much being in school).Marcnoreply@blogger.com
