[HiloBoy]

the players you idolized as a kid are dying off.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Dude,
I'm remembering when these guys played and in the same frame rememberibng my dad saying "He was a helluva ball player when I saw him" and I'm thinking the exact same thing. I love my dad and see where he is coming from, I better hook up with that hottie at work soon.

Your legs require 800mg of Motrin every four hours to make it through your shift.

 

[HiloBoy]

As my Grandfather used to say; "You've got to be tough to get old - It hurts!"
