First thing is, I NEVER jump out of a good airplane, the jump-master always pushes me out. Second thing is, as the bad guys were walking under me I found something was running down my back...and it didn't smell very good.<br />Those are the stories we tell every year, true stories with a small lie here and there to keep it lite! You wouldn't believe the people that come around to hear the war stories from a bunch of old guys, although some of the stories are getting more up to date as some of the guys are replaced by younger "old guys".<br /><br />"Las Vegas time", is coming soon for another five days of lies and stores.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-50858197410580460682017-01-01T00:08:40.092-05:002017-01-01T00:08:40.092-05:00Happy New Year to everyone and your loved ones!Happy New Year to everyone and your loved ones!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-77745385014983075802016-12-30T20:01:55.394-05:002016-12-30T20:01:55.394-05:00Ken....Can you remember the guys delivering ice in...Ken....Can you remember the guys delivering ice in the 30's ?<br /><br />A leather like skirt over his broad shoulders.

Those were the good days of Yankee baseball!

I would have to let Clemens in over Bonds as Bonds failed tests and Clemens didn't, yet we all know they both juiced along with Ortiz so he always seems to get a free pass which pisses me off. The clown never hit 20 HR in the Metrodome and was released I believe and then all of a sudden he starts cranking, just like Bautista.Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-24462722400102677962016-12-29T23:53:05.151-05:002016-12-29T23:53:05.151-05:00It's ridiculous that both of these guys weren&...It's ridiculous that both of these guys weren't first ballot guys. You can make arguments about who cheated and who didn't, dating all the way back to when Reed was a kid. I've been told that was around 1892. Just kidding Reed! But seriously, the steroid era is real. Just like any other era, including the cocaine of the 80's and the greeinies of the 60's and 70's. Here's my point. In the steroid era, Bonds and Clemens were the best of the era. If most players were juiced, these two were at the top.
