I was just talking to my Dad about Rick Monday this afternoon. My favorite player growing up was Nolan Ryan. But after learning about the incident you pictured, my favorite player is now Rick Monday.
If you want to see how far we have fallen as a nation, watch and listen to the national anthem as performed in Chicago during the 1991 National Hockey League All-Star Game. By far, the best rendition of the anthem I have heard. But more so, the signs, the energy, the patriotism. So sad, we now have pampered ungrateful poodles getting the attention.

. My favorite player growing up was Nolan Ryan.
I got an autograph from Nolan Ryan when I was a young kid. He was pitching for the Angels at the time. He had just finished warming up in the bullpen to start a game in Oakland and I leaned over the rail. Probably an inappropriate time to ask but he signed for me and went off to pitch the game. Funny part was I didn’t know who he was and was trying to read the autograph to tell who it was when his name was announced over the stadium PA. So from that day on I was a Nolan Ryan fan.
