What the world needs now, is a good baseball card

Who will step up to the plate?

Jeff,

Great idea, but I do not think Dusty Springfield has a baseball card. Perhaps Dusty Baker could pinch hit, but I don't have one.

She had some great songs for sure.

I thought Jackie DeShannon did that song, at least originally.

Oh -- I think you're right! Good catch.

Actually....

At least one trading card and an exhibit card.

Ya know, the Yanks might not have won the Series since 2009, but they have won it 27 times overall. That's because their owners, for the most part gave a crap about the team, and could actually afford to own a team. Thus, Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Reggie, Mattingly, Jeter and all the rest. Maybe if your owner gave a damn instead of pocketing whatever profit, your team might be a winner. But the thing is, I'm 63. Your team could win the Series every year until I'm pushing up daisies, and still not catch up with the Yankees. Now how do you like that?

This is yet another ill-advised thread. No one except you is going to appreciate your witty, snappy, weaselly, condescending, jealous little anti-NY digs.

Woof.

Woof. I always appreciate Frank even when he's being that way.

I assume Frank is mocking a certain individual in the water cooler section whose entire reason to live apparently is to meticulously catalog the failures of NY sports teams. The oxygen that sustains him. I believe this is all intended as a not so subtle goofing on that individual. But I could be wrong. Frank seems to operate on a different frequency than us mere mortals.

He is not operating any more, in fact.

My sincere condolences for all those years New York did not win the World Series. Just imagine how exciting the World Series would have been if New York had won 100 World Championships in a row (99 of which were four game sweeps).
