    Believe me, Mays has no shortage of ego, either. He will be the first one to tell you how great he was.

    Vintage Baseball

    For anyone interested in Williams, Doerr, etc. I recommend "The Teammates" By David Halberstam and "Real Grass, Real Heroes" by Dom DiMaggio. DiMaggio's book has a lot of little details about life in general back in the 30's and 40's and differences between baseball then and when he wrote the...

    Vintage Baseball

    I'm a Giants fan, born and bred, but after reading several books about ball in the Era, I think my favorite player would be Bobby Doerr (Red Sox).

    Is chivalry dead?

    I was in a situation not too long ago where a friend (a 70-year old lady) found herself getting emotional over something we were watching and started tearing up. I reached in my pocket and handed her a handkerchief and she was completely stunned and incredibly grateful. She said she didn't think...

    Any writers?

    Or Roger Ebert: "No good movie is too long, no bad movie is short enough".

    Music from your childhood

    Interesting that this thread should pop up now, as just two days ago I ended up catching "40 Most Softsensational Pop Songs" on VH1 and remembering each and every one of them from growing up in the 70's. My parents listened to soft rock AM radio and there was a lot of Seals & Croft and America...

    What are you listening to?

    A little ditty that pops up in rotation quite a bit: "The Waiter And The Porter And The Upstairs Maid" Bing Crosby along with Jack Teagarden and Mary Martin

    Going to an Irish Bar

    Unless I am mistaken, Bulmer's is the same thing as Manger's here in the States. My better half loves it and it is fairly easy to find, at least in the Bay Area, though not cheap. Very good stuff...

    Movies you should have liked but didn't

    From Roger Ebert's review: There is not a shred of conviction or chemistry in the love triangle, which results after Rafe returns alive to Hawaii shortly before the raid on Pearl Harbor and is angry at Evelyn for falling in love with Danny, inspiring her timeless line, "I didn't even know...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Topper". Lots of posthumous hilarity.

    Break a leg, Scotrace! I have an audition coming up in a week or so myself.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Shanghai Express" at the Stanford Theater. Marlene Dietrich was spellbinding as Shanghai Lily, despite a mediocre performance in a ridiculous movie. Still, fairly fun stuff.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Fortunately, everyone was fine. There was about $5,000-$10,000 worth of water damage, but according to their website they will be back up and running tomorrow night with "Witness for the Prosecution". I have to admit, I was more than a little concerned as this place is a temple for me...

    What Are You Reading

    Help, Please - Astaire Bio I am hoping someone can recommend a good Fred Astaire biography. I picked up a recent publication "Fred Astaire" by J. Epstein at the library and ended up putting it down less than twenty pages in. The author was just annoying the heck out of me. Now, however, my...

    My better half and I are off to see The Crowd tonight at the Stanford Theater. We are both looking forward to it, having never seen it.
