and on this coming New Years Eve, it will mark the 40th year of Roberto Clemente's untimely death.
Boy, could Baseball really use another like you, Roberto. clementewingfield.jpgclementeEMMONS1.jpg |

Jimmy- today is also the 50th anniversary of a day you will appreciate:
On August 18, 1962 the Beatles played a gig at a venue called Hulme Hall. Nothing special about that, but it was their first engagement with their new drummer, Ringo Starr. Ringo debuted with the Beatles, 50 years ago today.... |

Wayne Gretzky was born 78 years ago? He looks pretty good for his age.

Boy Mark. WHAT A BALL! Talk about a moment that will live with you forever! How did it come about? Before a game or after? Details Mark, details!
I went with my Little League Team to a game in the late 60s at Dodger Stadium and we were stuck in the right field pavilion (which is perfect for 9 & 10 year old kids!). Well, I couldn't take my eyes off of him the whole game! That was it for me. Although I trimmed down on my collection, the three photos and the letter I posted, are what I've kept. Am on the lookout for a signed personalized "To Jimmy/Jim" piece to add to my others. It will come. |

I also thought of Gretzky. But knowing he was not 78 years old I racked my brain trying to figure out who it was. Clemente was never a consideration. I never heard anyone call him that.

You're 100% correct Ed. When I was writing the title, I paused and thought... should I change this, so there's no confusion with Gretzky? And than I realized that only a complete moron could possibly think that Gretzky is 78 years old. Turns out I was absolutely right.
