An amazing story!

2007: The assassination of Benazir Bhutto

Image result for benazir bhutto assassination newspaper images

On this day in 2007, a suicide bomber in Pakistan reminded us that the world is a very nasty place when Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. It happened 12 days before the Iowa Caucus of 2008. It was a reminder of the terrorism threat that we continue to face.

Happy # 52 Ivan Rodriguez

We say happy birthday to Ivan Rodriguez who was born in Puerto Rico in 1971.

As I recall, Ivan Rodriguez broke with the Rangers in 1991 on the road in Chicago. It was the start of an amazing career that took him to the Hall of Fame in 2017.

What was the reason that we remember him after all of those years?

Was it 2844 hits or a .296 career batting average? or catching 2,427 games? 311 HR & 1,332 RBI?

The answer is his electric arm or his ability to kill a rally by picking of a runner at second or first. Evan Grant remembers:

The first time Ivan Rodriguez threw the baseball to second base for a member of the Texas Rangers organization, it traveled at 93 mph. The first time he threw it to the base in a major league game, it reached the base before poor, unsuspecting baserunner Joey Cora even started his slide.
A legend was quickly born.

Over time, Ivan not just picked off runners. He also forced runners to cut down their leads thus making a double play a little easier or keeping many from reaching third on a single. It changed the game as any manager on the other side will tell you.

It was amazing for many of us watching on TV as well. We would watch the game expecting Rodriguez to pick off runners.

Congratulations Ivan!

We remember the great Joe DiMaggio (1914-99)

The great Joe DiMaggio was born in San Francisco on this day in 1914. He died in 1999.

We've posted a lot about his 56 game hitting streak. Of course, Joe was more than the streak. He won MVP's and led the Yankees to several World Series titles. He was the best player in the best team in baseball.

DiMaggio retired after the 1951 season: a .325 average, 361 HR, 1,537 RBI in 1,736 games.

In this book, you will learn that Joe was very quiet and shy but he could hit.

Happy # 72 Bucky Dent

Russell Earl O'Dey was born in Florida on this day in 1951. He ended up as Bucky Dent.

In 1973, Dent broke with the Chicago White Sox. He hit .260 over 4 seasons as Chicago's shortstop.

From 1977 to '82, he was with the Yankees and that's where he hit one of the most famous HR's in New York-Boston history. It happened in the 1-game 1978 playoff to determine the AL East champion.

Overall, he played 12 seasons and hit .247. However, it was that swing at Fenway Park that made him a big hero for the Yankees and forever hated in Boston.

Bucky Dent was a part of the 1978 New York Yankees, one of the most amazing championship teams ever.

President Abraham Lincoln's letter to Lydia Bixby

Image result for mrs bixby civil war images

On this day in 1864, it is believed that President Lincoln wrote a letter to Lydia Bixby, mother of five men who had been killed in the Civil War.

It expressed condolences to Mrs. Bixby on the death of her five sons.

Historians are not sure about the letter. It may have been written by John Jay, his secretary. Nevertheless, it became famous in "Saving Private Ryan", a war film from 1998.

Happy # 78 to Rick Monday

We say happy birthday to Rick Monday, a pretty good outfielder who played for the A's, Cubs and Dodgers. He was born in Arkansas on this day in 1945.

Monday's best years were with the Cubs (1972-76) when he hit 106 HRs and was a very tough out. As a Dodger, he hit a 9th inning HR to beat Montreal in the 1981 NLCS.

Nevertheless, Rick's greatest baseball moment had nothing to do with hits or home runs.

It happened in 1976.

Between innings, Monday took his position in center field and was playing catch with a teammate. He saw a couple of guys trying to burn the flag, ran and grabbed it before they could light the match. The two idiots were arrested and Monday gave the flag to one of the security guards.

It was before cable, although the game may have been on WGN Chicago. Anyway, I remember reading about it the next day and catching a quick bit on the evening news.

We salute Rick Monday for saving the flag and a good baseball career.

A special Christmas salute to all of the ladies with husbands & sons away in military service!

Once again, thousands of ladies will spend Christmas away from their husbands & and sons.

We appreciate these ladies!

We appreciate the men serving the country, from Iraq to Afghanistan to the Korean peninsula to the fleet protecting the oil flow in The Straits of Hormuz.

It goes without saying that the world is safer because our armed forces are defending freedom.

Karen & Richard Carpenter recorded this one many years ago. It has a beautiful message for this wonderful season.

Again, we dedicate this one to the ladies back home who support the guys overseas.
