Stan Musial died Saturday.
Youngsters might not recognize the name although their spell
checkers will. Musial never dated movie
stars, he wasn’t known for fights with the press, brawls in bars, or bad
behavior of any time. He was married for
72 years to the same woman who died last May and was never known to mistreat
anyone expect opposing pitchers whose offering he deposited all over the field
or over the fence from 1940 till 1962.
Musial won 3 MVP and was runner up 4 times. Think of that a second, for one third of his
career it was the consensus that he was the best or second best at what he did
in the league.
That’s simply incredible.
There have been many tributes to Stan Musial over the last
few days, but I think the greatest tribute to him was paid last year by Albert
Pujois.
When he was signed by the Angels they put up promotional
signs referring to him as El Hombre.
Given his numbers in 11 years he averaged 40 HR & 121 RBI a season
while hitting .328. certainly number that would justify being called “El
Hombre”, “The Man” but he would have none of it.
"I still have the
same respect for him as I had, not just for what he's done in baseball but for
what he did for his country. That's something you have to appreciate."
Best description of Stan Musial I ever read came from Bill
James when declaring him the best left fielder of all time over Ted Williams :
...if I had to choose between the two of them, I’d take Musial in left
field, Musial on the basepaths, Musial in the clubhouse and Williams only with
the wood in his hand. And Stan Musial
could hit a little, too.
Someone not thinking of death these days is Andrew
Cuomo.
His latest
abortion proposals
bid to secure the Democrat left for 2016 are so extreme it produced this
exchange between Elizabeth (The Anchoress)
and
her husband:
Among the widely reported and false
claims:
- Steubenville
is so corrupt that no justice is possible.
- There
has been a massive cover-up in the case.
- The
victim was drugged, put in a car trunk to bring her to a series of
parties, urinated on, and left for dead in a field.
- That
there a number of witnesses to the assaults who have not come forward.
- The
school’s football coaches were involved in the night’s activities.
- That
football players were given easy or preferential treatment in this case.
- No
media was covering the case except for one blogger until Anonymous got
involved.
- That
no justice would happen in this case were it not for the intervention of
Anonymous.
- The
infamous video of Michael Nodianos joking has nothing to do with the
legal case.
To reiterate, those claims are rumors that are unsupported
by evidence and yet if you click on any link to a story about the case,
you’ll find any number of in whichever story you read.
Lee positively owns this
story and that ownership is making a lot of people angry, must mess with the
approved narrative don’t you know .
The Atlanta Falcons Tony Gonzalez moved one step closer to
being
the Ernie Banks of Football.
A well-loved Hall of Fame player who never
made it to the big game.It’s quite possible Goonzalez is the best Tight End to
ever play the game but he has some interesting opinions concerning marriage, (
via
Wikipedia)
Gonzalez had a
commitment ceremony in July 2007 with his girlfriend, October, and considers
himself married.
Considers himself married?
Really? Well why not? If we can redefine marriage one way why
shouldn’t we redefine it any way anybody wants it to be? After all it’s not like marriage is anything
important.
And if you object you are a
racist, bigot sexist homophobe.
People are laughing at this story about a guy at Verizon who
outsourced his own job for a 1/5 of the price and pocketed the difference that
he
was
being paid.
Two thoughts: If
Verizon was satisfied with the work and the price they were paying for it, what
do they have to complain about?
And frankly how is this any
different than a contractor hiring a subcontractor to do a job?
Chip Jones at Conservative Report Online has a hell of a
question concerning
Benghazi:
You see, the Kalashnikov rifle chambers a 7.62 mm round. The
US M-4 rifle chambers a 5.56 mm round. What is widely reported and accepted is
that at least two of the TDY Green Berets who were assigned by the CIA as
ARSO’s (assistant regional safety officers) were badly wounded and were treated
for multiple gunshot wounds after they rescued over 20 civilian CIA workers
from the compound.
The single question that needs to be asked is: “Were the
rounds taken out of the wounded ARSO’s 7.62 mm or 5.56 mm?” And when
the answer comes back “5.56 mm”, it opens the door to the proof that the cover
up was meant to hide the fact that the Obama administration had been caught
once again arming offshore groups that did not have the interests of our
country at heart. It would open the door to proof that Benghazi was “Fast and
Furious on Steroids.”
Considering the MSM’s lack of
interest in Fast and Furious it’s going to take an awful lot of steroids to get
the MSM’s attention
Covered a GOP forum on Monday with two of the candidates for
GOP Chair
Kirsten Hughes
and Rick Green.
I think these two candidates
perfectly encapsulate the question the GOP faces nationally.
If you are a bit sleepy this from
NiceDeb
will wake you up:
Dr. Jim Garrow, a renowned author and humanitarian, made the shocking claim
on his Facebook page, yesterday.
I have just been informed by a former senior military leader
that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who
must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. “The new litmus
test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens
or not.” Those who will not are being removed.
Garrow noted in the comments that “the man who told me
this is one of America’s foremost military heroes,” prompting this relpy from
one of his followers, “if this man is truly a military hero, he had better not
be keeping this a secret. Military hero’s
(sic) do what’s right, not what’s comfortable for themselves.”
Garrow responded, “have folks forgotten that the word is now
out. I believe that the gentleman has done what he should and allowed all of us
to sound the alarm.
If this is the slightest bit true it will be very
interesting to see the reaction in the ranks.

A bit of a cultural thing, when I wanted that Bill James
quote from the start of this piece I didn’t search the net. I remembered reading it and ran upstairs
grabbed the book I saw it in, leafed through it until I found it. I tend to do that an awful lot when
writing. In this internet age/kindle age
it must seem a quaint and amusing thing to do.
I’m sure some of the younger set must laugh at it. Let them.
I’ll take the printed word over the pixel every time. With the printed word I can say with 100%
certainty that what it says on the page today will be the same thing it says on
it tomorrow.
You know you are old when you find yourself using the words
“the younger set” in a sentence.
Finally there is huge news concerning DaTechGuy on DaRadio.

Amid
the ongoing gun control debate, leftists universally want Americans to
believe their only concern is the well-being and safety of our
children.
