Oh, sit me here, Coach - Not ready to play today;

Sit me here, Coach - Not ready to play today;

Look at me, You can see. Bench material.

I don't care who you are, that there, that's funny.

Bench me or trade me! - Chico Ruiz, Reds utility player joking about being in the lineup for a week straight once

Does anyone remember the session Chico Ruiz did on being a professional benchwarmer as part of an all-star game pregame show?

didn't chico have a sister rosie, that drove the boston marathon.

You may be right 20dad!

Your memory is ...uhmmm...what's the word? It starts with an A or an M I think. Something to do with the Mets or Those Men in Their Flying Machines.

Dang it 20dad...I can't remember.

How do you do it...keeping so sharp?

Do you first take the Gingko Biloba and then chase it with Fish Oil? Or the other way around?



Anyways...

2005 BOSTON MARATHON

Canadian Jacqueline Gareau crossed the finish line, breaking the ceremonial tape to honor her 1980 Boston Marathon win.

Gareau was denied her chance to break the tape in 1980 because of the infamous Rosie Ruiz incident.

Ruiz had snuck into the race and finished ahead of Gareau.

It wasn't until well after Gareau had finished the race that Ruiz was recognized, and remembered by 20dad, as a fraud.

I may have sat a lot but...

I Was The Greatest

Reminiscing is one of the greatest parts of baseball.

Whenever I'm with my kids in my old hometown and we drive past the football stadium I say, "I can't believe they don't have a statue of me standing there on the sideline holding my helmet."

.

Goodness skipper...that's a helluva' stadium you played in.

And if you're holding your helmet then whose helmet is on your head?

I know a guy who was a 3rd string NFL QB for years. He said it was the best job in America. He said, "Where else in America can you be paid 500K for holding a clipboard?"
