Ingrid Bergman and "The Bells of St Mary's"

Thank God for DVD's and retro movie channels.    A few days ago, I decided to watch a movie and ended up watching one of my all time favorite movies.    "The Bells of St Mary's" is about Ingrid Bergman playing "Sister Benedict" and Bing Crosby as "Father O'Malley". 

I love it for two reasons:

First, "Sister Benedict" reminds me of all of those wonderful nuns who've dedicated their lives to teaching children all over the world.   They taught us love, responsibility and regard for our Judeo-Christian traditions.  We are better men and women today because women like Sister Benedict came into our lives.

Second,  the movie is so inspirational at a time when we can all use an alternative to meaningless "hope and change" speeches.

Check it out and you will see what I mean.  I promise that you will love "Sister Benedict".

Happy # 74 Cecil Cooper

We remember Cecil Cooper, who was born in Texas on this day in 1949.

"Coop" broke with the Red Sox in 1971 and was traded to Milwaukee in 1976.   He had his biggest seasons with the Brewers, including a huge hit in the 1982 ALCS against the Angels.
     
Overall, he hit .298 with 241 HR, 1,124 RBI and 2,192 hits in 1,896 games.    As a Brewer, "Coop" hit .303 in 11 seasons and won Gold Gloves in 1979 & 1980.

Great player.
