Amazing. Before my time, yet I know who DiMaggio and Feller were, and I
can't name one of today's baseball players.

DiMaggio retired in 1951. I never got to see him play. But I did get to
see his "replacement" play many times. The replacement, of course, was
"the Mick," Mickey Mantle.



That is because you spend all your time on the net and do not have a life.




We've been to at least a half-dozen major league games so far this
season...how many have you been to see?

None of the players we saw this year really stand out.

Hell, the 1939 American League all-stars included DiMaggio, Feller,
Crosetti, Cronin, Greenberg, Grove, Foxx, Gehrig, et cetera.

Even the players of my youth are more memorable than today's players. We
used to go to lots of Dodgers and Yankee games. We went to the 1960
all-stars game #2 at yankee stadium, and saw, among others, Aaron,
Banks, Matthews, Mays, Mazeroski, Berra, Mantle, Maris, and even Ted
Williams.

What were you doing in your teen years, Bilious? Chucking Coors?

Based upon your posting history, you must have stayed for less than half
an inning.
