We remember Lee May (1943-2017)

We remember Lee May who was born in Alabama on this day in 1943.   He died in 2017.  

May was a quiet power hitter of the 1970s.    Overall, Lee hit 354 HR  with 1,244 RBI and a .267 batting average.

He started with the Reds and hit behind Johnny Bench in that power lineup:   111 HR & 302 RBI over a 3-year stretch!

Then he went to Baltimore and hit behind Ken Singleton:  387 RBI over 4 years.

He played for the Reds in the 1970 World Series and for the Orioles in 1979.

Lee May played with lots of class.   He let the bat do the talking and it did a lot of that!

We remember Joan Crawford.  She was born Lucille Fay LeSueur in San Antonio, Texas, on this day in 1905.     

We loved her movies like "Mildred Pierce" (1945), "Possessed" (1947), "Sudden Fear" (1952) and "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" with Bette Davis (1962).  

She died in 1977.

1775: Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech




We remember another anniversary of Patrick Henry's speech:

"I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
It became a rallying cry for the colonists.

A year later, they met to sign The Declaration of Independence.

We remember George "Boomer" Scott (1944-2013)

George Scott was born on this day in 1944 and died in 2013 at age 69

In 1972, George Scott was traded to Milwaukee and he became the team's first big star.  He hit long home runs.  I recall seeing him hit a line drive to the left field seats that left park in a second.

My first memory is that he was fun to watch.  He hit "taters" and play great defense at first base.  He was a big man but he could move around first base.


My second memory is running into Scott in Mexico City in 1981.  He was out of major league baseball and playing for the Mexican League.

I was waiting for a light change and crossing a street.  I noticed this man next to me and said:  "Are you George Scott"?

He said yes and we shared a few Brewers' stories.  He was a really nice guy and invited me to go to watch a game.

Unfortunately, I did not make the game and Scott was out of baseball soon after that.

Thanks for those "taters"!   He hit 271 of them when hitting 25 Hrs in a season was having a pretty good season!
