    I assure you I am not a liberal a communist or a socialist in any shape or form.

    Did you intentionally forget to welcome me back or was it an oversight?

    Well Philly, while you were gone I watched Seinfeld to try and understand yr love of the tiny tot fighters. I figured it out watching the episode where Kramer becomes the K AR A TEEE master. It is not size but the level of skill Jerry, um, Philly. You love when they go at each other w/ their tiny FISTS OF FURY. Am I correct? Bud.

    It actually all began when Kramer laid DiMaggio out during baseball camp! I began to gain a better appreciation for the little guys.

    I was in a coffee shop one time way back in 2018 and Pete Rose walked in and ordered a shrimp kabob. I was at a table in the back eating crow when I saw him. I slapped the table with my hand repeatedly and coughed out "Charlie Hustle". Must have done this until my hand was close to broke. HE NEVER LOOKED. His concentration was uncanny! And, he devoured the kabob by holding it in either hand. Un huh! Indeed! The greatest switch hitter beyond Mantle used both hands. Then, the final clue. When he went to the can to clean up, he ran instead of walked!!!!! !!!!!!!!!. Woohoo. You see my point.

    if he didn’t slide headfirst I doubt it was him! I will never get the memory of his glove slipping under a dropped ball from Bob Boone and making the immaculate catch in the 1980 World Series against the Royals from my mind. I hated him when he was on the Big Red Machine....but loved him when he wore the Philly pinstripes

    Best way to read me. I am a mix of Louie DePalma, Kramer, Sam Kenison, Cartman and R. P. MURPHY. And that is EXACTLY how I talk.
