He knows how to talk to kids from being a 4 time major league all-star. He also probably is nice to them and doesnt yell at them to go home and clean their room, because they're too young to be betting at the track.
Gotta give him credit for making it as a catcher at his size. You don't see many catchers that small. He must be tough as nails. I like him.

The channel 10 set at the fountain entrance is the biggest ****ing waste of prime space in history. They are almost never there. Who makes these decisions? Tear that sucker down. They basically have planted ugly bushes where hundreds sat and watched the hosses come on the track for years and years. Shade trees gone with none replanted is the most egregious of them all.
I like the Monday giveaway instead of Sunday. It makes for two better days, but putting the majority of the giveaway items at the top of the stretch instead of the big red spring makes for good exercise, but seems absurd. We met a lot of cool people this year as always. Also saw friends that we met up there in the late 80's early nineties and are still tight with. The beards are white and much less hair, but the great memories remain. Slipknot at Aikos tonight .
