Good field..no hit tho

Continuing off topic just once more I was always impressed with what a great teacher Ted Williams was. Ed Brinkman raised his batting ave. almost 80 points in his first year and had his two most productive seasons with him.

Senator's thread cont....you must be from the D.C. area? I'm from da UP Mich and I got to see Eddie Brinkman regress with the Tiger's after he left the Senators cuz yeah, Teddy Ballgame didn't come with him

Williams put the fear of God into his players...they pretty much had to do it his way.........and getting back (sort of) on subject, Ted's ego makes
Hansen's (the doctor - not the SS) ego look like a homeless person's.

Didn't NASA launch William's brain into space or was that someone else...Timmy Leary's I think. I know Ted was in some sorta deep freezer for a few years as per his son's wishes....

K DERBY to Brain's in Space....pretty good thread eh?

You mean he somehow picked the winners of the two most impressive prep races?

woah.

How'd you do?

I didn't bet, but my top pick was Bode, my second pick Liaison, third pick I'll Have Another and then Creative Cause.

I thought the Eastern horses were pretty weak this year, as opposed to the last several years.

Interesting now that there is a major dirt track back in Socal, the Ca horses had a fighting chance.

You throw the "fraud" word around so easy and YOU DIDNT BET THE KENTUCKY DERBY? WHo's the fraud here ? YOU DIDNT BET ?
