I had a little league baseball coach nicked-named "beaver". I don't know how he got that.

I went to U.T. with a guy , the last name of Beaver. Real stocky guy with dark hair. I can't remember his first name. Maybe Marshall Beaver?????

I'm sure I'll post it again in a few months. My memory sucks.

Who did they play? Wasn’t it North Carolina? I think either we had Jimmy Streeter at QB or they had his brother as the punter. I was probably ten at the time, so I may not be remembering correctly.

I always liked what Bum said about coaching against Don Shula. He said that Shula "could take his'n ( players) and beat your'n, or take your'n and beat his'n."

One of my favorite Bumisms.

RIP. Went to see the Dodgers play Atlanta for a couple of games in the mid-1980's, and sat behind the Dodgers' dugout. I saw Lasorda, Monday, Baker, Hershiser, Honeycutt, Sax, and that group..

I'm surprised that I haven't received an email about this by now. I saw the information on the bottom of the TV screen where they scroll the news of the day ..... they said he was 93 years old.

Here's the link about Lasorda ........... just got the email .......

Tommy Lasorda, Hall of Fame baseball manager, dead at 93

What I liked most about Lasorda was when he appeared many times on Johnny Carson's show. He would tell funny stories about different things happening in baseball & things of life in general. Hearing his stories made me like him a lot more than I did ..... I was a big Braves fan in those days.

I appreciate that 2021 kicked in the door and let everyone know it ain't no biatch. Set the mood, and hopefully shut up the people who think a different year changes anything.

2021's vibe check is going swimmingly.

2020's pissed off sibling it seems like.

Hey 1972 Grad .... are you in the mountains of NC today? Looks like you're getting a lot of snow right now....

If 2020 was a scam call, it'd be the one about the vehicle warranty. 2021 is the one with the high pitched voice girl asking about your health care.

Nope. I thought about going, but afraid I might get snowed in. I saw the webcam at the golf course near my house, and it looked like 12-15 sledding down Hole # 1.
