Man, I like that.
Super, Perry!

Well, he picked Cleveland before the game last night, so...

The color guys on Fox pregame were a real treat. First you had A-Rod, overdressed and trying too hard, like a politician in his first campaign - he looked like he was auditioning for a job. Frank Thomas was more than competent, and I enjoyed his commentary (though it's like watching a mountain talk). Pete was hilarious. "Screw it, I'm Pete Rose, I'll just throw out random observations!"

Ever see him set up his table outside the casino to sell his autograph while he watches all the games he placed bets on while there in Vegas?

My buddy is wearing a 3X something or another I found cheap.

Back to the Moss Green Gannon today. Since you have to be tired of seeing the same hat (it keeps finding its way to my head), here is a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head.

Never been to Vegas, and it's easily the last place on my list to visit. Not much of a gambler, and the place just strikes me as tacky. I've been to Cooperstown during induction weekend a couple of times, and Pete's a fixture there. Being from Dayton, I've seen and talked with Pete numerous times at various functions, charity events, etc. Always gracious to his fans. The only time he was a little aloof with me was once when I was about 10, my sister and I asked for his autograph while he was sitting on the bench during a charity basketball game. That was inconsiderate of us, and I don't blame him for being annoyed.

Nice bash!

LOL

I have a wayward brother who lives in Chicagoland with his family. Last night's BIG win for the Cubbies calls for a BIG hat... Akubra Sombrero!
I always like to tell about finding this lid brand new in a now defunct (favorite) store that was called Building #19. They billed themselves as "America's Messiest Deapartment Store," peddling all manner of close outs, overstock, factory seconds, or whatever else they could make a buck on. About 25 years ago, they had a Gaylord container of them as I walked in the door. This was right on top, in MY SIZE, tagged at $19.99. SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Hey, Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat!"

Awesome. Those Jeep I-6 engines are bulletproof.

The 232?

Depending on whether you believe him or not, Pete isn't much of a gambler either.
But he sure is a lightening rod!

I have one pair, steel-toed western boots, about 35 years old. Like my oversized dome, my footsies measure a respectable 13, EEE. Although a bit easier to accommodate these days, it's always been frustrating buying any footwear. You know the old saying, "Big feet.... big shoes!"

Bittersweet as my Dad (his memory robbed by Alzheimers) has been a Cub fan since the 1930s (he was born in Oak Park, IL). I asked Mom if he might want to watch the game with me, but professional sports has been a sore spot for him these last few years so I was on my own.

You might not know it, but this one was for you Dad. Way to go Cubs!

I hope your Dad got some of it, Bob. After the first (in a long time) Red Sox WS win in 2004, I witnessed more than one "elder statesman" in tears over it. The lifetime wait was over. Bittersweet is right, man!

YOU are amazing, Frun! THIS is the lid of the day!!! Thanks for sharing!

 

[hatsRme]

Thank you, Harv and FedO! Not an everyday hat for me, but for Joao...

I have had some great times under this one, especially with my son on a Cub Scout weekend camping trip. He's now 27 years of age.

Tie (Thai) Thursday... going with the Stetson Gun Club again. I think I look like that hound dog in the old cartoons. What was that? He was like a sidekick, not Deputy Dawg or Droopy....
