BASEBALL!

I have no interest in present day baseball whatsoever but have a strong interest in vintage imaginery of the early New York Yankees' sides.

For many years, I've collected original Yankees photographs from their origins in 1903 through to the late 1940s, with a particular liking for items from the 1920s. I'm not really sure what started the interest but just find this vintage imagery so alluring and way ahead of its time.

This sound wonderful! My Dad had some vintage baseball photos- I believe a nephew has them now.

After the incident of a fan getting attacked in LA this past week (he is in a medically induced coma at present), I'm having a difficult time with the season starting. I have loved the game all my life and enjoy going to games to this day. But, this makes me sick.

The Rangers are beating the crap out of my Red Sox to start this season. Third game and they have 11 home runs so far. WTF?!?!

I arrive early to get the best seat in the house, only to realize that it's a triple a baseball game I am attending. What rabid fans would I have to face to find that perfect perch where I would have the best view of every pitch thrown. I enter hands loaded with my rugged high school mitt in one and and ice cold beer in the other. Today is going to be a great day. I am going to sit back and watch America's game, savor every slider and watch in amazement in the bases loaded full count ride the rookie pitcher works his way out of. Yep this is more than a perfect day. It's a day you can't experience anywhere else on the planet earth. This is my day, my day to relax and imagine only if that were myself on that field, determined that today I would throw the perfect game with a perfection never mastered before. Yep, me, myself and I would have a day to be remembered. Baseball, love it, hate, dismiss it, turn away from it, stop this can't be so. For how could anyone walk away from a perfect day of America's favorite pass time!

Peace

UGH... Giants lost to the A's (interleague series) last night after a loss to the D-backs the night before.

Lincecum did pitch better than his last couple of starts. He has been in a slump- and I think it is related to not having Posey catching. They seemed to have some good communication together. His decline began right after Posey got hurt.

But hey- Stewart's arm was something with 2 throw outs from home to second!! Nailed 2 A's very fast base runners.

I am really enjoying seeing Brandon Crawford as a rookie- the kid does have amazing hands! Of course, I'm biased- he's a local kid getting a start in the game, but I think he will have a career in the game.

Damn, Sandoval didn't hit worth anything last night! But it is so good to have him back.

On another note- the Cal Bears are in the college World Series and the women's team was also. Way kewl!! When I watch college or AAA league ball, I remember my brother. John died in 1990 and I miss the hell out of him. Don't care that he broke a couple of my fingers and once knocked me out when we were kids and he wanted me to catch for him as practice. Yikes- no mask! Dumb kids.

I have noticed that as well. They made a good team.

Yesterday was a rainy Sunday and my feet hurt from dancing so I put them up... grabbed a wine (or more)... cause well beer just is not a foxes drink... and watched back to back ball. Ahhhhh now that is what a rainy Sunday is for... even if the Jays did lose.

LOL- yes, I have good memories of a Sunday with dancing feet aches and a ball game, couple of brews, too.

My guys have got to start hitting!! A great bull pen only goes so far!! Playing the Twins starting tomorrow for a series at AT&T. Damn, I'm enjoying my "big" sister's gift of the SF Giants TV sports package! used to only be able to see a few home games via local stations. And now i can see some of the teams other baseball fans here like, too!
