The wager was whether I had an autographed pic of one of your cousins Ken or Clete. I do. So I win the bet.
"But have it your way, you're speaking about Cloyd & Brett."
Well, no I was speakin' about your "cousins" Cloyd and Ron, actually. Who is Brett??
"I feigned illness so I could stay home from school & watch that afternoon game -- in B&W -- on TV."
Yep. Except it was a Saturday or Sunday game and there was no school that day. But I listened to all the weekday games in school on my pocket transister radio. That was a great series!
So your Mom is the Brother of Ken Boyer's Dad??
Landru'll NEVER pay up...he's rumored to be all hat and no saddle...MUD
Isn't she the Kennedy girl who RuthlessJoeKennedy lobotomized and stuck in an insane asylum 'cuz she was not worthy of living with the CamelotCrowd?!
Kennedys ARE MURDERERS and Rapists, IMHO...'cept fer JohnJohn, so the RATS had him killed...MUD
BTW..."Could not find anybody named 'kennedys'
Could not find anybody named 'TDK'
Could not find anybody named 'Came-alot'
SHEEEESH...come on, Lib'rals, anybody gonna even defend the Kennedys?! Grab a new ScreenName and dive in...'cept fer you, Eschoir, unless you promise you've been off the sauce since AT LEAST this morning...as fer you, my li'l chick-a-dee (MM), turn up the Manilow, light those scented candles, and I'll grab the whipped cream and chocolate bernaise.
HA!
OK, you're a *winner*.
"Well, no I was speakin' about your "cousins" Cloyd and Ron, actually. Who is Brett??"
I'm fairly sure there was a Len & Brett in there, somwhere.
The Boyers were a huge family.
>I feigned illness so I could stay home from school & watch that afternoon game -- in B&W -- on TV."

Yea well, 40 years dims a guy's memory some.
I'm sure you older guys recall is better than that of an 11 year old kid.
"That was a great series!"
You bet it was.
That series was responsible for making me a baseball "fan."
I loved both the Yanks & Cards based on my memory of that series.
"So your Mom is the Brother of Ken Boyer's Dad??"
No. The relationship's slightly more distant than that.
...we'd talking about a second cousin, here.
