I found this on Youtube today. Eddie Feigner of The King and his Court fame. A four man fast pitch softball team the played not only all over the U.S. for about 60 years with Eddie pitching, but all over the world, too. His fastball was clocked at over 100 mph and still over 90 towards the end of his career. In a 1967 fundraising game at Dodger Stadium, he consecutively struck out All Stars Roberto Clemente, Harmon Killebrew, Maury Wills, Willie McCovey, Brooks Robinson and Willie Mays. He also struck out Pete Rose twice in that game.


Well worth the time to learn some history about a fascinating man. He played in my hometown almost every summer for years, against our repeated state championship fast pitch softball team. I used to sit on the hood of my car out beyond the outfield fence to watch in awe.

2020 is one of the worst years that I can remember in my 68 years.

Usually there is something good to come along in a year every time we have something bad - not really to offset the bad, but to take the sting out of the bad.

Nope, not yet and we still have over three months to go until we can turn the page on this ugly, ugly year.

We still have a heated presidential election to come, a virus that may get worse before it gets better and protesting/rioting like I haven't seen since the late 1960's.

Take a breath and hold on... and pray for 2021 to be better (fingers crossed).

Sometimes it's really frustrating doing a web search.

A lot can depend on the way you phrase what you're looking for.

But in the end, the discovery is worth the challenge.

Soldier on, researchers!

... he was called the 'King of Rock-nRoll':


Even a little electric malfunction couldn't slow him down.

Tom Seaver ~ 1944-2020

A Hall of Fame career and a decent guy.

He never pitched for my team, but I enjoyed watching his career.

Why are they called peanut butter cups when the cup is made of chocolate?

Ever wonder where they get the seeds to plant seedless grapes?

If I drink half a glass of whole milk, would you say it's still whole?

From today's Sunday 'funnies':

If bologna is pronounced 'baloney', then why isn't lasagna pronounced 'lasahney'?

For some reason, I couldn't get Fire TV on my Smart Samsung t.v.

After trying to see if the app was compatible (it wasn't), I went another way.

Bought an Amazon Firestick.

It had the highest rating on Consumer Reports.

So I bought one. It came in the mail today and only took me a few minutes to hook up.

Now I can enjoy the programming I was watching on a smaller Fire TV set.

Let the fun... continue!
