Rain stopped,,, headed to 161st and River Ave .,...... to see Carsten Charles, . vs Guthrie,,, he of the who will be later known as the Loser ! GET IT ?!

Debut

Back in 1936 this was a very eventful day !!! a guy born Giuseppe Paolo DiMaggio Jr. and who came to be know simply a Joe DiMaggio or Joe D,,, Played his 1st game as a New York Yankee hitting right in front of Lou Gehrig.... In his career - the YANKEE CLIPPER hit .325 with 361 home runs,,, He was World Champion 9 times, 13 times an All-star, , 3 AL MP awards. And remember .. like many players of that time, he took 3 years out of his career and enlisted in the Army,, The Yankees retired his number 5 in 1952, and he was elected to the Baseball HOF in 1955. Joe was the 1st player ever to be make over $100,000 a year ...

And I believe that his 56 game Hit streak will NEVER be broken.

In 1947 - a trade was agreed upon with RedSox for Ted Williams, but they also wanted this guy named Lawrence Peter Berra and The Yanks GM at the time - Larry McPhail - refused ,,, you see that Williams a lefty would have benefited greatly from the Short porch at Yankee stadium and DiMaggio would hae fared far better in Fenway with the Monster than he did at the old Yankee stadium where his right handed power had his long drives to Center and Left center field were just outs,,,as the Wall was 457 and 461 feet !! Joe's stats on the Road for Homers, Average, and RBI's are considerably better than at home.... SO the trade never took place...


DiMaggio became an American Icon - Married Marylin Monroe - DiMaggio was used by artists and referenced in popular culture during his career as well as decades after he retired. - SO .. on the Anniversary of His PINSTRIPE debut ....

Here's to YOU - Joe DiMaggio !!

I feel terrible...

oh,,, and it was Paps.................. oh no,,, I am now even more depressed,,, and Big Poopie OH for 3 with a K,,, and a .159 average

Don;t know why...

Hey,,, one of my Favorite shows is Criminal Minds,,,, maybe cause of the logical way these folks need to think to Profile the Bad guys... but anyway,,, the show was - I my mind,,, no pun intended ,, considerably better with Mandy Patinkin than it is with Joe Mentegna... but the remaining cast is strong enough to carry the show,,, and although Kirsten Vangsness's character , Penelope Garcia is probably the best supporting character on TV,,, its Spencer Reid - Matthew Gray Gubler , that I really enjoy watching,,,, they have written this role purely from the Super genius nerd standoint,,, makes you wonder who was the "model" for his character......

here are few Clips that highlight Dr. Specer Reid ...






and maybe the Best ....
