  1. Hard to choose between Secretariat or Man o' War , ..... Lassie or rin tin tin....
  2. I do believe as others have said , it somewhat of a gamble if you not a season ticket subscriber and are aware of game to game surroundings. Season ticket subscribers have the advantage of knowing better what to be expected in their immediate area. Attending games on best ticket available price wise , very much an unknown as to what the environment around yourself and family. In this light don't see it wise for Mom or Dad to take the gamble of taking to game pre teen children, and would need to consider maturity and sensitivities of young teens. Having to put a age on it given I feel at times very uneasy at games, would say 18 years old, not so confident of wanting to subject myself or children at least the the unknowns of behaviors I would rather they did not experience. Much of lifes negatives we need learn to deal with, but certainly I am not going to pay to do so....
  3. Sadness has lessened somewhat replaced by precious fine memories. The precious people with get to know do live on. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell; And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die. -John Donne remembering Paul
  4. Millbank, and Stratford Ontario.
  5. Hamilton very much reminiscent of George Brett back in the day. As with Brett, Hamilton at present has teams talking of simply walking him each at bat as best option. Teams did this with Brett, can remember Barry Bonds also who was walked even with bases loaded. What is different about Hamilton though is the current Texas lineup so talented walking him would net in many more big innings. No matter who your team of choice is, most special to see players such as Hamilton play the game at such a level.
  6. Agree with this . Let them talk and watch and decide if they can awake this players talent. No risk to bring him in. It would be of more concern if they were not looking at all options. Cost little to look and talk....
  7. This article gives some hope alludes to Aaron Corp being possible sleeper pick.

  11. History of The Band Back in the day when they played with Ronnie Hawkins on the Young Street Strip in Toronto seen them a number of times. Sat and spoke with them a few times.

Levon does leave behind a great legacy.
