Having said that, I think he should be in the HOF. He did nothing wrong as a player.

But he did as a manager. Betting on games he was involved in. He'll NEVER get in the HOF.

Yep, that's what I said. I don't think he WILL, I think he SHOULD.

And again, I don't like the guy. I just think his on field play merits it.

Awesome -- Red was later manager, & Stan the Man GM, when the Cards played the Sawx in the 67 WS

There was no greater fireman than Dick Radatz in 1963-64 -- scary to hit against, said Mickey Mantle

Why do I think it was Ernie Holmes of the Steel Curtain, not Otis Sistrunk who Alex Karras was referring to when he made that classic University of Mars comment -- all good/foggy brain

Marques Johnson, great player, he, Jr. Bridgeman, Sidney Moncrief, Bob Lanier, Alton Lister, Paul Mokeski, Randy Breuer, coach Don Nelson....

How I wish cut&paste would work for this thread so I could post photos -- thanks again

Click on the last icon on the right. the img thing.

Go to a picture you want on a website, right click on it. Go to properties. Copy that from the url. Then paste it between the img icons at the top.

If that doesn't work, let me know. I can walk you through it.

Oh, and Paul Mokeski? He sucked! One of the Pistons worst decisions ever.

Lee Smith is a good one. Remember when bullpen guys would throw two or three innings? Ah, the good 'ol days....

I remember those days well. If the starter got lifted and the next guy was making good pitches and getting people out you left him in there. A sensible approach IMO.

Bobby Knight

In I believe 1968 when Bobby was a young coach at Army he ran a basketball camp for a week after regular camp closed at the Camp I attended. One of my friends went. While Knight was lecturing a camper spoke. Knight didn't stop talking but hurled a basketball at the kids head knocking him out. Everyone else was too scared to help him.

Anyone else miss the days when kids could be abused when they were acting inappropriately?

Like the Yankees in the 1950's (see Johnny Mize) the Celtics (see Maravich/Walton) seemed to have an uncanny knack for picking up discarded talent that was willing to sublimate for a chance at a ring
