Welcome back B. I also have you blocked :-) As for Pete Rose. I was a huge fan. Great great player. Big Red machine. Charlie hustle, loved it. A lot of great memories of him with the Reds and Phillies. He broke the cardinal sin in baseball. He bet on baseball as a manager. Its unforgiveable due to the black sox scandal. This rule is so important, every single clubhouse in baseball has this rule posted in plain view. Its about the integrity of the game. He deserved the ban. By the way Pete Rose is a free man. He can bet on baseball. Wouldn't surprise me if he is a Vegas regular. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I just think a ban for life is excessive. Not for gambling. I never even knew who he was before he got banned. On your other comment, he was set to sign autographs at some sports card shop at Caesars Forum Shops about 8 or 9 years ago, it hit me a few minutes later the irony. War is peace. Freedom is slavery.

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | B9 is back, I hadn't noticed. And I didn't have him blocked. Is your sig line in reference to a terrific company? This is a great patriotic 1963 commercial, they don't make them like this anymore. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

LOL! EB hit the nail on the head. I can't believe he recognized my reference to that old Firestone commercial. That was a great one from the old days. Props! Boron Boron Boron rhymes with moron, moron, moron |

The commercial is great because it highlights what a good life was in the early 60's. A family wagon, mowing the grass, building roads, planting crops, defending the nation with missiles. I felt proud when I saw it then, and I still do now. It makes me realize how we're told not to be proud anymore, it's terrible what has happened here. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It isn't that we are told not to be proud, in many ways we are told to be outright ashamed of ourselves. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |
