IMO - both depending on the play. I do not like to take a half goal and sacrifce plus juice. So the money line is good for me when playing underdogs. When I do play a favorite I hate to lay a lot of juice at pick-em, so I will look for my team to win the game outright on the ice and lay the half goal. Thats me. In short, lay the minimum amount of juice as possible at all times. At the end of the season you should be better off.

There is an article on the RX home page written by Wild Bill on that exact subject. Go to www.theprescription.com and look under headlines.
As a kid I lived not to far from Fenway park, and used to see a lot of games in the bleachers. We usually could get in back then (late 50's) for a half a buck. Anyway, the Tigers were in town a lot natrually, and for some reason I recall Charlie playing 2nd. but I am sure you are right about the outfield. The Tigers had a guy named Frank Bolling who was their regular 2nd basemen. I do, now that I think about it a bit more, remember Maxwell playing a little first, not regular, but once in a while. I think he also played in an All Star game once.

Wilhelm. looks like we were brought up during the same era. I went to Briggs Stadium (later Tiger Stadium) and also sat in the bleachers for a half-buck. Yes, Frank Bolling was the second baseman, Gail Harris was at first, Reno Bertoria was at third. Outfield was Billy Bruton in center, Maxwell in left and Kaline in right. Pitchers were Frank Lary, Don Mossi and Jim Bunning (later Senator Bunning)
Of course my biggest thrill back then was seeing the last years of Ted William's career. He loved to hit at Briggs stadium, I recall. Naturally, I could only get those games back in Boston on radio. I always liked Kaline also, Frank Lary the Yankee killer, never liked Fenway much. Jim Bunning threw a no-hitter at the Sox in Detroit in 58. He was a hell of a pitcher. When Norm Cash came up, I watched him hit a shot to right one day at Fenway, that got out of the park in about 1.2 seconds. Great old memories from a semi-poor but happy childhood. btw. I was born in 48.

As far as the show goes, I recall Eddie Adelman had a pretty funny show, but that might have come later. I do remember Mossi'i ears from a baseball card I had, not sure if it is the one you posted. I used to sit right behind the bullpens in the right field bleachers, you could watch the pitchers warm-up. They seemed so much larger than life when you are a kid. Here is one of my old favorites:

You are CORRECT again. Eddie Andelman, Mark Whitcomb and a third person whose last name was McCarthy had a hilarois show called SPORTS HUDDLE that I used to pick up in Detroit on Sunday night's. They always used to pick on Yastremski, Bobby Orr and the owners of the Bruins and Red Sox. The show started and ended with a circus caliope playing.
listening to the show, around the time NFL reciever, Lance Rentzel got arrested for indecent exposure. Some guy called into the show and asked Eddie if he thought that Rentzel would jump to the Canadien Football league or "stick it out" in the NFL. Adleman did'nt catch on for minute or two, he started with what he thought Rentzel would do, then realized he had been had. Some show that was. Popular as hell.
