Andy Garcia is a doll , what about The Godfather himself, Al Pacino?
And hey while your at it ....how about a pic of Clark Gable as Rhett Butler?
Your not alone honey, most of us do
Al Pacino a hunk? (I hated the Godfather,so mebby I need to find another referrence ;)) OK, I'll see what I can find.
And yes, CG is gorgeous (mebby I need to do a 'Past Hunks' page)
Good idea...when men were men....throw in John Wayne, Burt Lancaster, Errol Flynn...I used to watch their movies when I was a young girl...Hubba Hubba
Al Pacino a hunk?
An older version of AG
I can see a few of those as hunks.
But JW will never be 'hunk' material to me. I used to cringe when women kissed him. He had about zero sex appeal.
Guess I aways saw him as more uncle material.
HOWEVER, Gary Cooper, YES!
I forgot Gary Cooper was a Hottie!
Thank you for clarifying! :)
Carlton Fisk. Another guy who took the game seriously. It was his chosen trade, and he was going to excel at it we should all be so strong. He kept himself healthy and durable longer than any other catcher thanks to a tireless dedication to his conditioning program.
On the field he took such pride in the game that it pained him to see anyone do otherwise. One would be hard-pressed to come up with an example, in any sport, of a player taking such great offense at a player on the opposing team not hustling. Love of the game was responsible for Fisks major butt-chewing of then Yankee Deion Sanders when Neon Deion decided not to run out a grounder. Such insolence was so unthinkable in Fisks world he could not sit by and silently watch it. Maybe it was a way to get into Sanders head too Fisk was no dummy; and as for Neon Deion, well, he had a bright-sounding nickname, but thats about it.
Even Fisks one moment of apparent prima donna-attitude is easily explained. In the late 80s, when an announcer-turned-(temporary)-front-office-man decided the future Hall-of-Fame catcher would be better use as a left fielder, Fisk humorously let his displeasure be known. Constantly. But who could blame him? He complained but in his defense, if Albert Einstein was pulled off the Manhattan Project to supervise a midnight shift of Rosie the Riveters, would anyone expect him to accept such a waste of his talents silently?
And the guy I'd most to look like (and throw, field & hit too. The heroic personality goes a long way as well...)
Roberto Clemente. The man was out of this world. Not only could he hit with the best of them, his fielding was a marriage of power and poetry. He owned the rhetorical rocket of an arm. He defined the essence of swarthy Puerto Rican handsome looks as well as ferocious Latin pride. Off the field, his dedication to doing good cost him his life.
Oddly enough, Sammy Sosa likes to think of himself as such a player; even Sammy was smart enough to idolize Clemente. But like Hillary Clinton and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, all they really have in common is a position. Possibly gender as well.
Unlike most celebrities who lend their name to, or throw some money at, a cause both useful to be sure Clemente literally went the extra miles. He helped supply victims of a devastating Nicaraguan earthquake. But when he got wind that materials were not getting to their intended recipients, he became even more involved. He boarded one of the beat-up cargo planes himself in order to see exactly who was ripping off the destitute of their needed goods. It was New Years Eve he was 38 and undoubtedly had more enjoyable things to do. Instead he went down with the plane, never to be found.
Logically, those who promote the cause of allowing Pete Rose into the Hall-of-Fame under the guise of only on-field play ought determine induction should conversely take great offense that the Hall waived the five-year waiting period and immediately opened its doors to Roberto upon his death. If Clementes special treatment due to off-field heroism was in fact earned, who could defend soiling his memory with the stink of cheat for a neighbor in baseball Olympus?
That's only because they're playing soccer.
I think they just did&^}
