The delivery side is some of the hardest work I’ve ever done! Slinging 160 lb kegs all day is not fun!
Selling...that’s a different story.
It’s mostly more fun than work, but still work and times like football season can be pretty stressful.

I hate to admit it, but Holly Rowe with a great interview. Earlier, Roman Harper and Pawl were easy on Timmy. Timmy was great, open and realistic.

On September 1 in Baseball History...
Click to expand...
  • 1902 - Tinker, Evers, and Chance appear together in the Chicago Cubs lineup for the first time, but not in the positions that will earn them immortality. Johnny Evers, a New York State League rookie, starts at shortstop, with Joe Tinker at third base, Frank Chance at first base, and Bobby Lowe at second base.

  • 1906 - The Philadelphia Athletics beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 in twenty-four innings. Jack Coombs of the Athletics and Joe Harris of the Red Sox pitched all twenty-four innings. Coombs fanned eighteen.

  • 1918 - Ty Cobb pitches two innings against the Browns while the Browns' George Sislerpitches one scoreless inning. The Browns win 6-2 as Sisler hits a double off Cobb.

  • 1931 - Lou Gehrig hits his third grand slam in four days. It is the sixth consecutive game in which the Yankees slugger has homered and it helps New York beat the Red Sox.

  • 1954 - Redlegs slugger Ted Kluszewski hits two home runs to break his own club mark of forty homers in a 9-3 loss to Philadelphia. He will wind up with forty-nine for the season.

  • 1958 - Vinegar Bend Mizell of the St. Louis Cardinals set a National League record by walking nine batters and pitching a shutout. Mizell beat Cincinnati 1-0.

  • 1963 - Curt Simmons of the St. Louis Cardinals allowed six hits, drove in two runs with a triple and stole home plate in a 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Simmons' steal of home is the last by a pitcher.

  • 1964 - Southpaw relief pitcher Masanori Murakami becomes the first Major League player from Japan. He debuts in a 4-1 San Francisco loss at New York. His first eleven innings will be scoreless ones.

  • 1975 - Tom Seaver struck out Manny Sanguillen in the seventh inning to become the first to strike out at least two-hundred batters in eight consecutive seasons. Seaver recorded 10 strikeouts in the Mets' 3-0 triumph over Pittsburgh.

  • 1987- Williamsport (Eastern League) Bills catcher Dave Bresnahan introduces a new wrinkle to baseball, the hidden potato. With a Reading runner, Rick Rudblad, on third base, Bresnahan returns from a time out with a shaved potato hidden in his mitt. On the next pitch he throws the potato wildly on a pickoff attempt. When the runner trots home, Bresnahan tags him out with the real ball. The umpire, unamused, rules the runner safe, gives the catcher an error, and fines him $50. He is released the following day. But that night, their last game of the season, the Bills admit any fan for $1 and a potato. On each potato, Bresnahan autographs, "This spud's for you."

  • 1989 - Eight days after banning Pete Rose from baseball for life, Commissioner Bart Giamatti dies suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 51.

  • 1995 - Tigers manager Sparky Anderson manages his four-thousandth Major League game, but the Indians are 14-4 winners.

  • 1998 - Mark McGwire broke Hack Wilson's sixty-eight year-old National League record for home runs in a season, hitting his 56th and 57th in the St. Louis Cardinals' victory over the Florida Marlins.
