Alive by an inch
Alive by an inch: On Saturday afternoon, I was watching the Trump rally on my tablet and listening to the Rangers vs. Astros baseball game.
Our second grandson was visiting and rushing out to the little pool in the backyard. It was another hot Texas…..

Imagine that: Voters still care about the economy
Imagine that: Voters still care about the economy: Who knew that voters would be voting based on the Biden economy or his overall record? It turns out that people did before and will again. Our pal James Carville’s famous slogan lives for another cycle.

July 1958: "Patricia" by Perez Prado was # 1 for 3 weeks
Damaso Pérez Prado was born in Matanzas, Cuba, on December 11, 1916. In the 1950's, he was "The King of Mambo" with hits like "Mambo # 5" & "Mambo # 8".
In July 1958, Perez-Prado competed with Elvis for the # 1 song in the US.
"Patricia" is one of his greatest tunes.

1970 All Star Game: Rose and Fosse crashed at home
The 1970 All Star Game was played in Cincinnati.
The starters were Jim Palmer of the Orioles and Tom Seaver of the Mets. By the end of the game, no one was talking about the two future Hall of Famers. Instead, it was a collision at home to end the game in extra innings.
In the bottom of the 12th, Jim Hickman of the Cubs hit a single, Pete Rose of the Reds ran home and Ray Fosse ot the Indians waited to make the tag.
My guess is that no one thought that Pete Rose would crash into Fosse! It was the most bizarre ending to an All Star Game ever!
The NL won 6-5!
Speaking of Ray Fosse, he had a great year in 1970: .307, 18 HR & 61 RBI. Ray played 12 seasons with Cleveland, Oakland, Seattle and Milwaukee. Fosse was a part of the great A's who won 3 straight World Series and caught 22 post season games. It's unfortunate that he will be always be remembered for that collision.

July 14 and # 500 for Aaron and Matthews
We remember two great teammates: Henry Aaron and Eddie Matthews. They played together with the Milwaukee Braves.
On July 14, 1967, Matthews hit # 500, now with the Houston Astros.
On July 14, 1968, Aaron hit # 500, now with the Atlanta Braves.
Aaron & Matthews ended up with 863 home runs in their 13 years together with the Braves.
Matthews retired after the 1968 season. He was traded by the Braves to Houston and then to Detroit. He had 4 at-bats in the 1968 Word Series and picked up another championship ring.
Aaron returned to Milwaukee in 1975 and played until 1976.
Matthews came up with the Boston Braves but enjoyed his biggest years in Milwaukee. He led the National League with 47 home runs in 1953, the team's first year in Milwaukee.
Aaron came up in 1954 and hit 755 career home runs.
Aaron & Matthews played in the World Series in 1957 & 1958. It was Matthews who made the last out to beat the Yankees in 1957.
Great teammates!

July 14, 1913: President Ford was born
President Ford was born on this day in 1913. He died in 2006.
The 38th president spent much of his post presidency enjoying a well deserved retirement. He made a few appearances but generally stayed home and enjoyed his wonderful wife and family.
Yes, President Ford often smoked a pipe in public. He may have been the last president to smoke in public.
Who remembers this from the day he became president:

Who remembers this from the day he became president:
"I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots. So I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers."I remember Pres. Ford making that statement. I think that it went over very well with much of the country.

2008 All Star Game: The Josh Hamilton Show!
Hamilton gave us the most unbelievable home run derby performance ever: 28 HR's, 3 HR's over 500 feet including one for 518 feet, and 13 consecutive HR's in the first round.
In the end, Morneau, another wonderful young hitter, won the final round.
Yet, it was a great night to see Josh do his thing!

July 14, 1881: We remember the day that Billy the Kid was killed
Billy the Kid was shot to death on this day in 1881.
This is not a Western movie but it sounds like one:
"Sheriff Pat Garrett shoots Henry McCarty, popularly known as Billy the Kid, to death at the Maxwell Ranch in New Mexico.And so Billy the Kid was dead. He was only 22!
Garrett, who had been tracking the Kid for three months after the gunslinger had escaped from prison only days before his scheduled execution, got a tip that Billy was holed up with friends.
While Billy was gone, Garrett waited in the dark in his bedroom.
When Billy entered, Garrett shot him to death."
