When I ran home to catch Gibson
When I ran home to catch Gibson: Did you stay up ’til midnight to watch the end of the Detroit-Seattle extra-inning marathon? I did, but I lost my wife in the 13th inning. Baseball was intense again, and I loved it. I was reminded of so many times that baseball was at the….

Here is one of those baseball memories. Back in October 1968, I ran home with my little transistor radio, hoping to catch Game 1 of the World Series on TV. I knew that my mother would have the game on TV, so my objective was to get home.

I ran faster and faster when I heard that…
And now Christopher Columbus!

A few years ago, I read that Columbus died not knowing he had discovered a new continent.
The left now wants to take down monuments to Christopher Columbus. I guess that they want to hold Columbus accountable for the original sin of bringing European influence to The New World.
Or, more specifically, Columbus brought the white man to these lands.
The Columbus “haters” forget that the Europeans also brought religious freedom, democracy, the rule of law and a lot more respect for women than they had in the Aztec or Inca Empires. In other words, did the Aztecs read your rights when you arrested? Or give you legal representation if you couldn’t afford it? Or tolerate anyone who wanted to bring down their monuments?
We understand that the Spanish committed some atrocities and there is no sense covering that up. However, let’s have a little more balance in how we look back at what people did 500-plus years ago.

Party like it's 1859
Party like it's 1859: My late father used to say that history always repeats itself. I'm not sure if it always does but it sure looks like 1859 in Chicago. I mean when some states decided to challenge the federal government. Who knew that “states’ rights…

1966: Orioles sweep Dodgers
-----------
The 1966 Baltimore Orioles shocked the baseball world by taking 4 straight from the defending champs Los Angeles Dodgers.
It was a classic mismatch on paper, namely because LA had Koufax and Drysdale. However, it was also a case of underestimating the young Orioles who ended up throwing 3 shutouts and a 0.50 ERA for the series.
Frank Robinson was the MVP but it was the Orioles' pitchers who made the difference.
Koufax retired a month after the Series. The Orioles came back in 1969, 1970 and 1971. It was the end of the Dodgers, who did not return to the Series until 1974, and the start of the Orioles who won 4 pennants over the next 6 seasons.

The ObamaCare distraction, Chicago like 1859 and more stories
The ObamaCare distraction, Chicago like 1859, John Lennon (1940-80), Che Guevara excecuted 1967 and more stories
Time to pull the plug on ObamaCare
Time to pull the plug on ObamaCare: Back in 2009-10, ObamaCare was sold along the lines that it complemented our private health insurance system. Remember “you can keep your policy?”

Fifteen years later, and it's time to revisit this mess because it's not going to get any better. Everything went wrong as it usually does with any government program focused on creating dependency rather than solving a problem.
