We can only hope one of the Nurses ( or "Nieces") has a wardrobe malfunction.....we'd all be winners then, right?

By the way.....How big is this guy's ego to name his horse after himself..unless he named it after Ronnie Hansen, the ol Oriole Shortstop from the 60's....poor Mike Maker...poor Mike Maker

I was at RFK when Ron made an unassisted triple play for the Senators. Diving catch up the middle,doubled up the runner on second and tagged the runner coming from first. Awesome moment for a little leaguer !
