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.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
    • Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
