Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

In 1941, Mom got Ted Williams and Johnny Pesky’s autographs, along with Joe DeMaggio, Dom DiMaggio, and the entire Red Sox team (Joe was with the Yankees but his little brother Dom was with the Red Sox)

My nephew Matt still has that little autograph book, and i bet it must be worth a bit of money. :-)

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...more snow for Tippy?

It’s threatening here, but nothing so far. High winds and high temps are on the way. YUCK!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

My goodness...those autographs are really something special. I would bet it really is worth some money. LOL!

I saw Ted Williams play at Fenway Park a few times. He was a great fielder off the Green Monster in left field.

Bleacher seats were 65 cents back then. I don’t know what a beer cost. I was too young.

Hi Kathy, thanks for tonight's Canteen and for honoring our Hero!

I'm feeling better, on the downside of a cold but not great yet.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

Real Cold and Windy today, and Winter is only half over.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Ted’s career On-Base Percentage of .482 is the highest ever.

Howdy, Kathy.

Have you managed to find a little “you” time this weekend?

I see this early thaw continues up there. Probably a blessing in disguise with all the snow you’ve had. Some melts now before it gets cold again, then there isn’t as much left to melt when spring thaw hits in earnest. Still a pain in the hiney now with the melt-freeze-melt-freeze every day and night.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[lurk]

So his career ran nearly parallel to Musial. Two decent hitters in different leagues.

How kewl is that.

Teddy ballgame’s career year was 1941, when he hit .406 with 37 HR, 120 RBI, and 135 runs scored.

yet DiMaggio got the MVP award.

no kidding.
