The magic I right there all the time
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It certainly was good to hear the veiws of Aaron and Robinson as well as tributes to Jackie R. - but the man who has been called the 'most perfect ball player of all time' sits in the announcers box every week - Joe Morgan.
Not only was he a great ball player, but as a commentator he has no equal. The Viewers understanding and appreciation of the game expands everytime he comments on anything, a swing, a steal attempt, a long or short lead off first.
Last night I liked it when Robinson's widow, (is she reeeeally in her 80s?) reminded everyone there was a ballgame going on and wondered if she should be speaking through the action.
The game was decidedly blah - 9-3 is not a prescription for drama, even if individual performances may stand out.
I thought the wearing of 42 by all the players, was sort of hokey - still do as an idea, but it was handled well and the frustration of Robinson of there being no black managers was spoken to, and handled, even if some more 'strikes' could have been thrown than a 'spirit of the times' comment.

Chamberlainain
[Read the article: Ronald Reagan: Chamberlainian appeaser of the 1980s]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does anyone consider that Chamberlainain used the time between Munich and the opening of hostilities to begin the largest peace time construction program ever for the Royal Navy? Used the time to put the Spitfire into production?
As goes the RN so goes the safety of Britain, and the Spit was more than single weapon responsible for winning (as in surviving) the Battle of Britain.
Some call it appease ... then again, some go to war 'with the army they have, not the army they want' ... Britain won WWII, how is the US doing in Iraq/Afghanistan?
