I stand corrected.
I may have been thinking of: "I'm not a member of any organized political party. I'm a Democrat."
This board seems like fun.....and, fun is what emwe need. Unless somebody has a better idea.

It is fun! So glad you and the other new members joined us! We've got a good group here. Knowledgeable too if we ever get games to discuss. Love your name too. I was a big fan of The Gunner's Green Weenie. It won many a game for the Buccos. "Babushka Power" helped too.

With you there. I'm "of the age" where kids used to sneak a "transistor radio" under the pillow to listen to west coast road trip games......until Ma Weenie wondered why I was burning through so many "batteries." Big Weenie knew.
Big used to get SO mad. I could hear him yelling, "What's the score? What's THE SCORE!" every time The Gunner rambled on and on.
These days? I don't want to know the score.

Big Shedman used to get so mad at the Gunner. He used to say that if Gunner was talking about what happened 40 years ago and not telling the score, it was a clear indication that the Bucs were losing.

My father worked nights and I used to keep a homemade scorecard while listening to the games on a transistor radio (from Baltimore) thru the static of KDKA. So when he got home from work after I was in bed he could check out the game. I was keeping a scorecard on 6/12/70 when they played a twilight DHer in SD that started 6 pm there, 9 pm here. Of course that turned out to be his no-hitter. In 2001 I met Dock at a fantasy camp in Bradenton and told him I had the homemade scorecard and wished I had thought to bring it for his autograph. I also mentioned a couple spots on the card were left blank because the static drowned out the game. Dock gave me his home address in LA and told me to send it to him when I got back home. I did and he quickly returned it autographed along with an autographed PBP record so I could fill in the missing spots.
