These OSU mods wouldn't know anything about behaving like pros based on their behavior throughout the last month or so of this recruitment.

 

[DD4ME]

At least they're honest

Whenever we win the National Championship in football. Winning it in baseball was AWESOME, cause for a very nice celebration; but, not worth falling off the wagon. We win it in football, the wagon can run me over.

I can definitely relate. In the past, it's been TOO GOOD a companion, especially single malts. I've been good over the last years of limiting myself, though. I've come to enjoy it even more by doing so.

Enjoy Highland Park, btw. Skol!!!

lol I probably don't need that much of an occasion. Really not a wagon to fall off of, not teetotaling, just backing off the daily for a bit.

My tolerance had just gotten too high. Was never staggering around the house, just wanted that aaahhhh at the end of the day but maintaining functionality. But just getting that was taking at least a handle a week so I felt like I oughta reset before I do in my liver.

Looking forward to a fresh revisit one of these days. Scotch is just so enjoyable.

Nope, bartender through college. Two different country clubs. Scotch drinkers were serious about not affecting the Scotch with anything else.

This.

August 17, 1957
Fan gets hit Twice by foul ball...........
Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn hit a foul ball that struck “Alice Roth squarely in the face, breaking her nose,” writes Daven Hiskey. “The game was then paused as medics came in to tend to Roth. As they were carrying her away on a stretcher, play was resumed and Ashburn fouled off the first pitch thrown to him. This foul subsequently struck Roth as she was being carried off by the medics.”

The second foul ball broke a bone in her knee. “The fan, Alice Roth, was the wife of the sports editor for The Philadelphia Bulletin who was there with her two grandsons,” Bill Chuck notes. “There was blood everywhere.”

Fortunately, this story has a happy ending. “The Phils treated the family royally after the event and the kids were invited into the clubhouse and given free tickets and an autographed baseball,” Chuck adds. “After that, the kids visited Roth in the hospital and one reportedly asked, ‘Grandma, do you think you could go to an Eagles game and get hit in the face with a football?””

The next day Ashburn visited Roth in the hospital and they became friends. Henceforth, Roth chose to sit in the left field bleachers, well out of harm’s way. On top of that, Roth’s son eventually became the Phillies’ batboy.

Happy Saturday everyone


August 17, 2024: Breakthrough for you will come as a trickling stream instead of a roaring river. Your proverbial mantra will be: slow and steady, slow and steady. Take life as it comes; you cannot rush it. There are lessons to be learned that will be of great benefit in moving forward. Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Thanks

Rushin, I'm guessing you're old enough to have watched these shows at first airing because Ty Hardin was the star of Bronco, which rotated with Sugarfoot in the same time slot on ABC for 4 years. Cheyenne was in the mix too, as Bronco was a spinoff from it. But that would explain the association!

Those shows ran in the late 50s, early 60s and I wasn't even born till '65. I watched Sugarfoot in syndication in the early 70s. And I actually just learned that info about the shows on Wikipedia when I was trying to figure out what Ty Hardin was in. Show me a rabbit hole, I'm diving in.

Cheyenne star Clint Walker. He was one of my favorites as a kid. Memories

No offense @SugarCC

The only 2 acceptable ways to drink Scotch:

Scotch Neat
Scotch Rocks

Nothing else goes in the glass. Ever. For any reason. Unless you’re a 23 year old girl.

If you want to mix something - grab the Bourbon and make an Old Fashioned.

Is there a team with a greater turn around story than TN right now?

Roland James approves!!

One of the more underrated/forgotten players in UT history............ .

 

[COOKEVOL]

Is there a team with a greater turn around story than TN right now?

Not really.

 

[WesTnVol]

The last 4 years a young man I’ve known since birth was in the band. He would call or when he got home share stories of our games. I’ll miss those hand views
