Another hour, another year. When I saw it I remembered the “late nights” remark. At least you spared us the embarrassment of Jean Rattray !

Hi, Rick. No disrespect, but it’s a quiet day in the office and I have been googling various things to pass the time. Not for the first time, I have been scrolling through your pages and enjoying them thoroughly. Your fascination with baseball and football – for their own sake and as metaphors for the human predicament – come across strongly as does your love of music ( I didn’t know, or had forgotten, your admiration for Ray Davies and The Kinks). This one jumped out at me because of the reference to your mother and, of all things, Perth Academy. I’m going to keep reading to see if I’m in here anywhere and, if I am, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer.
Keep it up, Denis

And for the record, Pal Dave: .294 career avg., 21 HR, and a specialist catcher for knuckleballer Carl Musser.

Good God, to hear yourself referred to as a soccer, Formula One and Tour d’ France fan in black and white is a wakeup call…for the record, I’m no Tour d’France fan, but am a Baseball and Basketball fan (and many other sports as well), so honestly, I’m not a complete fruitcake!

Thanks for taking care of your own stats, Ed, and thereby ending this potentially endless loop.

Soccer? whatever. I agree with Cookie Rojas (.263 career avg,. 1660 hits, 593 RBI’s) and Charles Barkley. Just because it’s popular around the world don’t make it right. You know what else really caught on around the globe? Religion.

I agree Formula One racing and Tour de France are crushingly boring (I subscribe to the Charles Barkley view that it’s not a real sport, “they’re just riding a bike, that aint a sport”. That said, context is everything. I watched the Mexico/France match in a bar full of Mexicans and French and it was nuts! They screamed and sang not stop for 90 full minutes.
