February 16, 20232 yr I always thought he was good as well. He was maybe a little too old school for some, but I don’t think that is anything new. RIP.
February 16, 20232 yr Damn. Jack Buck and Tim Mccarver were nails for the 91 World Series. I was 6 at the time but we have some highlight VHS tape in my parents basement hahaRon Gant was clearly out

(I remember this fact from his baseball card in '80 when I collected them. You made me curious just how many there are. The answer is 31, but Kid Gleason should have an asterisk. He retired in 1908, but came back and played one game in 2012. He did go 1 for 2 in that game, finishing the year hitting .500. He also would manage the 1919 Black Sox a few years later.

I was more referencing that rather than go to her house and check on him, since she was working nearby, that she would call the cops. If my wife called or texted and I didn't response while she was at work, she'd assume my phone was silenced or off, or anything other than something that needed a wellness check by the cops. I’m assuming you aren’t a drug addict and or known to be suicidal though

February 18, 20232 yr Appears that Jimmy Carter is saying his goodbyes. No CR but after a tough presidency he did a lot of good for a lot of people.He’s 98, won’t be 99 until October.

February 18, 20232 yr Bummer to hear that about President Carter, but certainly expected after all this time. Clinton and Bush probably have another 15 years in them, and Obama another 25-30. This'll probably be the last time I watch a Presidential funeral until my children are fully grown. Kinda weird to think about but he deserves all the dignity and respect of a proper state funeral. I am going to make it a point to take the kids through his Library in Atlanta one day soon so they can understand what men of honor looked like.

February 18, 20232 yr Almost 4 & 8. When Bush, Clinton, and Biden go, they'll probably be in college...statistically speaking---so "grown", yeah. I'll be a grandpa, god willing, when Obama kicks it given the good shape he's in.
February 18, 20232 yr I'm thinking 2 are on the short list and it ain't Bush, Clinton or Obama. Edited February 18, 20232 yr by RPM

February 18, 20232 yr armybrat did skip William Henry Harrison's funeral. but to be fair, it was a sudden illness that took hold shortly after he took office and armybrat didn't have the ability to make an immediate train ride. and clinton will certainly live more than 5 more years. I'm betting 10-15.

February 18, 20232 yr You weren't alive when Coolidge died? All jokes aside. Fun fact, the 18.5 years between FDR and JFK was the longest we ever went without a former/current President dying, I would bet heavily that we lose three former/current U.S. Presidents by the end of this decade.
