So sad - another legend gone :(

We're talkin' baseball!
Kluszewski, Campanella.
Talkin' baseball!
The Man and Bobby Feller.
The Scooter, the Barber, and the Newc,
They knew 'em all from Boston to Dubuque.
Especially Willie, Mickey, and the Duke.​

Really makes me feel my age. Used to spend lots of my childhood at Ebbetts Field off Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn watching the Duke roam center field. I have a picture of Snyder, Mays, Mantle and DiMaggio. Autographed by 3 of them way back when you did not have to pay for those signatures. The only one I could not get was Mays. Years later he was down here in NJ at a signing show. I showed him the picture and he was ready to sign it-but his agent (or whoever advised him) refused to let him and asked an ungodly sum for the signature. I told him that the other 3 had signed freely-and the agent just sat there and said pay for it or get no signature. I refused to pay and walked away.:(

My dad's favorite player when he was a kid, if I'm not mistaken. :(

Back in the olden days, World Series games were in the afternoon. And it was a very big deal if you could convince your teacher to allow one kid to monitor the radio. Better yet, if you could convince her to let the whole class listen. I remember how pleased we all were when the Dodgers won in '55 with Johnny Podres pitching the final game. Snider was a big name on that team, of course. And as a Cubs fan I always had a blast of schadenfreude whenever the Yankees got their butts kicked.

I am losing my boyhood heroes at an alarming rate now. I still have Stan The Man left but for how long? Sure was a different game back then and you had the same players on the same teams to root for forever.

Jane Russell age 89-For those who never saw her-see Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or The Outlaw. An all time hottie!!
 
Re: Bring Out Your Dead (Part Whatever v2.0)

I knew you'd beat me on this one. Howard Hughes had a specially designed cantalevered bra created for her in "The Outlaw," which showed her gifts off their best advantage. More recently she did commercials for bras designed for "full figured gals."

Darn -- they don't build them like that anymore.

I remember on one of Kermit Schaffer's Bloopers records, they had some radio announcer talking about one of her movies...

"Next week at the Paramount, Son of Paleface, starring America's favorite comedian, Bob Hope, and the lovely Jane Russell--boy, what a pair!"

Yeah, but the storebought brand hangs the same sized ornaments on shriveled, malnourished trees. Ew.

Sometimes new and improved really does not match up to the original brand. I have performed thousands of these procedures in my career and honestly I don't feel they compare well to the best of the originals.
