OT - Denny McLain estate sale

[marzoumanian]

You made me laugh. I needed it. Bring back Rodney Dangerfield. We need him now more than ever!

Peace.

I will say his jokes were hilarious in that video - the part about getting hit w railroad ties was priceless...

Wish I could go. Love to find some of his stuff from his playing days in Des Moines.

I'm sure most people would agree with my tendency to believe that Denny would have sold off most anything of value years ago as money was needed. (I did not watch the video.)

And no, he's not in NC. He's in greater Detroit and has been co-hosting a fairly entertaining podcast for a while.

Call him and ask him, he seems pretty accessible.

Convicted of stealing money from a pension plan. Screwed over hard working honest people who depended on that money. What a real winner, wouldn’t do anything to give that man a penny.

It reminds me of a collectible that was floating around many years ago. It was a check from McLain, made out to, and endorsed on the back by Catfish Hunter, that had bounced. McLain had been a show promoter and Catfish had been one of the autograph signers.

Looks like they pulled a few items due to the signatures being highly questionable.

Yeah, this is my feeling as well. Just a trash human being that I would not give money to.

I know Denny McLain f'd up, but I like him. He comes across as a real person. I like to believe in redemption, and the man has paid his debt to society.
