Hmmm ... comments are gone. Oh well. For years people have been saying that Jackie did not successfully steal home against the Yankees (Yogi apparently still does). But I saw a film - for the first time ever, the same as a few old time umpires on an MLB show the other week - from down the third base line. It proves pretty conclusively that he did touch the plate before being tagged. I always believed that, but the twinge was there. No more.

"Comments?!"
Are you sure,..from this post?
You're the only one so far, and I haven't deleted anything since the troubles some weeks ago.

Yeah about stealing home that time. I never saw the film, but I always believed.
Yes, this one. I told that he was my first hero. You (?) said "mine too", and one more. I understand. ;)
Blogspot seems to hic-cup sometimes. I even lost a whole post this morning.
I put it up, and a few minutes later it was gone.
