At least it's not a wasteland yet.

Default Quite pointy in places
That's it! The posting of this pointless thread has prompted me to post my final pointless post. Thanks a LOT Frank for causing this to happen.

That was the "cruellest" post (I think only Peter and I know what we are talking about).

Default Leaving
I can't leave. I signed a multi-year contract with Leon. I may end up getting traded to another forum.

I truly think Eliot had baseball in mind when he denoted April as the cruelest month.

I have tried to leave several times but I can't.
Apparently I can check out any time I like but can never leave.
All kidding aside, I really like this place. Was on blowout forums for awhile and the level of BS and people jumping all over you for breaking the "rules". And people calling foul if you don't have your cards priced "way below EBay". This is a good place in my opinion.

Nah, I'm more of a Shakespeare guy. No manuscripts, but I have something like 800 Shakespeare-related books.

So in your informed opinion did someone else write the works attributed to Shakespeare?

No, definitely not. I have a whole website devoted to refuting the idea that somebody else wrote the works of Shakespeare, and I've written about it in several places in print, most recently in "The Cambridge Guide to the Worlds of Shakespeare".

I recall a parody that substituted Joe DiMaggio for Michelangelo.

"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you..."

I remember reading an interview with DiMaggio, who said when he first heard that song, he exclaimed to himself "I didn't know I went anywhere."

After that he was back on TV as Mr. Coffee.

Simon's hero was Mantle not DiMaggio, but he said the lyric worked better.

I remember reading that Joe was actually considering suing Paul Simon because he didn't understand the verse's positive connotation. Reminded me of Ted Williams attempting to probe DiMag's mind about hitting at one all-star game and concluding that the latter knew next to nothing about hitting--he just did it. Which was what Joe D. said to an inquiring Mike Epstein--"you can't learn it; you either have it or you don't." Not a guy with an inquisitive, analytical nature to be sure.

Regards,

Larry

How could anyone leave this forum? A directionless thread turns into a discussion on past members, rival forums, Shakespeare, Simon and Garfunkel, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams! Classic stuff! Exactly why we're all here!

Richard Ben Cramer's biography absolutely savaged him. It seemed a quite one-sided presentation.

Hi Barry,

You literary dileliottante, you! I know what you are talking about-

One of many Tim. Hope you are doing well. I wrote a baseball poem, please tell me what you think of it:

Leo Durocher
Doesn't keep kosher.

Do you think I can get it published?

Edit to add I should read whole thread before jumping in with my limited literary knowledge.
