This or That

Michigan

Bo or Bear.

Better: Bear
Like: Bo

Yankees
or Mets?

 

[Bigger Don]

Better: Bear

Yankees
or Mets?

Yankees...sigh. Great uncle pitched for the St Louis Browns, now the Orioles, but never got into the Mets.
St Louis NFL: Cardinals or Rams

 

[vitanola]

Rams. Still should be playing at Muni stadium. Humph.

Forbes Field or Shibe Park?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Tough call, but I'd go with Forbes just for the beauty of the area surrounding it. "And Kiner hits one into Schenley Park!"

Cleveland Municipal Stadium or League Park?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Don't know them. Could someone please go further?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Municipal Stadium (aka The Mistake By The Lake) -- 1932-1993

League Park (aka Dunn Field) -- 1891-rebuilt 1910-abandoned by the Indians 1946 -- partially demolished 1951 -- left to rot -- rebuilt as a community park 2014.

As it looks today --

 

[Fading Fast]

League Park (you're welcome Trenchfriend) - never hard to sell me on a classically designed baseball stadium.

Sitting down very low or sitting very high up for a football game?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Down.

Exterminating files with electric shredder or by hand?

 

[PeterGunnLives]

Electric shredder is quicker, so that's what I prefer.

Mancini or Mantovani?

 

[vitanola]

Electric shredder is quicker, so that's what I prefer.

Mancini or Mantovani?

Mantovani.

Actually, I'd prefer either Louis Katzman & His Anglo-Persians, or at the very least, Murray Kellner & His Dinner Music Ensemble.

So, which one? The Anglo-Persians or Murray Kellner's Dinner Music Ensemble?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Another tough call, but I'll give it to Katzman. An extremely prolific recording artist and conductor on radio, who provided the music for Fred Allen's first radio series.

Ipana Troubadours or Clicqot Club Eskimos?

 

[Fading Fast]

This thread is on hold until the only person who knows those two groups enough to have an opinion - Vitanola - responds.

Until then, chirp, chirp, chirp.

Ha! Indeed.

 

[vitanola]

The Troubadours are great, but the scintillating Harry Reser banjo gives the Esquimaux the edge, don't you think? Viva Cliquot Club!

For those of you who are not familiar with these bands, here is a particularly choice side by the Ipana Troubadours:

Not bad for some boys who were flogging tooth paste.


Now, the Cliquot Club Esquimaux:

What a band!


Now back to our regualrly scheduled game. Cubbies or Tribe?

Go out and buy some records! Or at least try Radio Dismuke some afternoon: http://early1900s.org/radiodismuke/

You are missing some might fine music.

Great info. Thanks!

 

[1mach1]

Cubbies.

Lincoln or Cadillac?

 

[Bigger Don]

Lincoln or Cadillac?

Lincoln or Kennedy?

 

[LizzieMaine]

I'll go with Kennedy, old "Super Sub" himself. An outstanding utility infielder who always came to play.

Thomas Jefferson or George Jefferson?

 

[vitanola]

Thomas Jefferson. He had a pretty good lip. One of the players of my youth.
