There's a whole world waiting out there!

 I learned SO MUCH while watching WORLD CHANNEL last night!

The city of Pittsburgh is where many tool and dyemakers and mechanics work. They are now making tiny parts for computers.

The city loves them as they offer good paying jobs with benefits,

Do they have a good baseball team.

Let's find out. 


Scott and I were watching baseball last night on his large TV.

The catchers find it very hard on their knees. Possibly after surgery, the managers let them work first base.


Scott and his friends were at Connie Mack stadium for the last game.

The entire stadium would be torn down so the players helped.

HOME PLATE was nailed down.

Scott got lots of wood and seats which he has holed up somewhere in his house.

Shibe Park, known later as Connie Mack Stadium, was a baseball park located in Philadelphia. It was the home of the Philadelphia Athletics of the American League (AL) and the Philadelphia Phillies (also known as the Blue Jays from 1944 to 1949) of the National League (NL). When it opened April 12, 1909, it became baseball's first steel-and-concrete stadium.[3] In different eras it was home to "The $100,000 Infield""The Whiz Kids", and "The 1964 Phold". The venue's two home teams won both the first and last games at the stadium: the Athletics beat the Boston Red Sox 8–1 on opening day 1909, while the Phillies beat the Montreal Expos 2–1 on October 1, 1970, in the park's final contest.

Shibe Park stood on the block bounded by Lehigh Avenue, 20th Street, Somerset Street and 21st Street. It was five blocks west, corner-to-corner, from the Baker Bowl, the Phillies' home from 1887 to 1938. The stadium hosted eight World Series and two MLB All-Star Games, in 1943 and 1952, with the latter game holding the distinction of being the only All-Star contest shortened by rain (to five innings). In May 1939, it was the site of the first night game played in the American League.

Phillies Hall-of-Fame centerfielder and longtime broadcaster Richie Ashburn remembered Shibe Park: "It looked like a ballpark. It smelled like a ballpark. It had a feeling and a heartbeat, a personality that was all baseball

.....

SCOTT AND I ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE GREAT ROLLY FINGERS, with the moustache.


He is still alive, 75, but has very strange views.


Ever heard of THE TULSA OKLAHOMA MASSACRES?

Another genocide in America. 


This should soothe our souls, though it is played a tout suite.
