That’s absolutely wild

….thanks for sharing – a nice laugh at a time of the season when we need one!

Rec’d.

and I can’t stand Rick Rizz. Not anything against him personally, but Rizz and Bob Rathbun were hired by former UofM football coach (and then-current Tigers’ team president) Bo Schembechler to replace FIRED radio play by play man Ernie Harwell in 1991.

Tigers fans hated these guys- not that they were bad, just that they were carpetbaggers replacing a legend. When the Tigers were sold two years later, Rizz and Rathbun were let go and Harwell was brought back by the new owner.

I’m just glad Tuiasosopo is not on the Cubs. Poor Santo would probably just retire after the first game. :-)

But it was when Andre Dawson was still hacking it out with the Cubs and he was up to bat .. and I was at college in the TV room, with a bunch of fellow slackers. The Hawk looked absolutely zeroed in at that moment and I told them, “The man will launch one deep on the next pitch.”

Bam. Dawson sent a four bagger out into the stands.

Now if only I could have used that prescience to tell me that chasing Ms. Dawn C. for three years at that same school to become Mrs Cubnational was ultimately a futile and insane gesture .. Things might have been easier ..

Final jeopardy came up and the category was landmarks, I looked over at Mrs.CarolinaCub and said the answer will be Mt. Rushmore and lo and behold I was right…. I still had to tear up the Cubs win the world series betting slip though.
