Because of Cal Ripken Jr., he had to change his number from 8 to 88. <BR/><BR/>Now in NASCAR, it seems that Dale Earnhardt Jr. has to do the same thing. I'm not a Junior fan, but I hope that Albert didn't cast any bad omens over a number change like that.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322086604599640345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-82292370902430420752007-09-19T09:33:00.000-05:002007-09-19T09:33:00.000-05:0074wixygrad -- do we have to?74wixygrad -- do we have to?The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-23517411204484542672007-09-18T18:53:00.000-05:002007-09-18T18:53:00.000-05:00Eddie Murray got his 3000th hit as a member of the...Eddie Murray got his 3000th hit as a member of the Cleveland Indians, but he's remembered as being a member of the Baltimore Orioles.<BR/><BR/>As a consolation prize, we will let Chicago take credit for Albert Belle.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322086604599640345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-16763880966326381652007-09-18T12:20:00.000-05:002007-09-18T12:20:00.000-05:00Indians fan checking in:Jim Thome knows he will ge...Indians fan checking in:<BR/><BR/>Jim Thome knows he will get some boos when he goes to Jacobs Field. Nowadays it's about 50-50.<BR/><BR/>But the intelligent fan knows that signing him would not have the smartest move at the time, and when Philly wanted to trade him back, the price was too high.<BR/><BR/>In the back of my mind, I think Thome will end his career in an Indians uniform.<BR/><BR/>BTW we may need the Sox help next weekend against Detroit.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322086604599640345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-3379929385573015822007-09-17T11:11:00.000-05:002007-09-17T11:11:00.000-05:00so that means you should have gone, right?smiles, ...so that means you should have gone, right?<BR/><BR/>smiles, bee<BR/><BR/>tyvcEmpress Bee (of the high sea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300140506585000934noreply@blogger.com
