Hahahaha.

Yes, it's right next to the Mathewson Police Gazette supplement that I've been looking for and he sent me a PM because his dad happens to have one...

Bye bye, Cliford


Thank you Leon

I saw Jackson's interview Thursday before the game, and I could tell he was speaking from his heart and no doubt the truth.

I found myself watching ARod's face when Reggie kept talking about the Hall of Fame.

I also watched the last episode of Ken Goldin's series where he met with Reggie to sell off some of his memorabilia. The sport (mainly the fans) was/were mean, vicious, etc. etc. However with that said, it damn sure didn't hurt him financially by looking at his house, cars, etc. etc.

I also don't think no matter how much money he made, or successful he was, it didn't erase the personal insults he suffered or felt.

Reggie was a much needed dose of reality. Wasn’t just a feel good night about a bunch of men who gutted it outunder bad circumstances. It was about the conduct of a good part of society that treated these men like filthy animals who were not worthy of sitting in the same room with them and eating a meal.

I liked how Finley stood up for Reggie. To his everlasting discredit, Red Auerbach did not do the same for Russell on at least one occasion I have read about.
