as for the mcdougald line drive, such a class act that he didn't even finish running to first and ran straight to the mound instead. he was reportedly so overcome w/ guilt that he considering retiring if score woulda lost his eyesight. either just wouldn't happen in today's game.

jb,

as for the cowboy, ALR and Todd nailed it. it is indeed andy devine...good call!!! but i am young, sorta. and i know who he is! ; )

cb,

nice aaron rook. centering is great!
Thanks Bob! Thanks for the insight on Herb Score... didn't know much about his story.
