Got to meet Sparky, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, Tom Seaver and Pete Rose (among others) on a trip to Cincinnati the year the went to the World Series against the Red Sox.

Those were the days for baseball.

Seaver was a Met not a Red

Reds/Red Sox was 1975, Tom Terrific did play for the Reds for 6 years but two years after that World Series. Old guys like me and Mr. Scot may have gotten the years wrong or Seaver may have been in Cincy on other business.

I've had the pleasure in the last couple years to play with Sparky in his annual CLU tournament at Moorpark Country Club, great man. And of the guys you mentioned there Mr. Scot, he spoke very highly of Joe Morgan and his entire family.

    • You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out. 
    • So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB. 
    • All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
