BillyGoatHill started following Scott Wilson and Happy Veteran’s Day!
-
Long line of veterans in my family (both sides) dating back for sure at least to the Civil War, possibly further if dad's genealogy search was correct. Not sure really why as there was never any pressure to join, it was just something that many of my family chose to do. My wife's family has a similar history also. Anyway, THANKS to all the Veterans (or family members) on here and everywhere else. It's cool to have this thread and share some stories & pics. Ensign Dad just after graduation from UT '57, and his ship USS Cowell in Sydney harbor some months later. He told me they were the first ships in the harbor since the war. Their money was no good with the Aussies, they wouldn't let them pay for anything. Bottom pic are some of my buddies and I from McChord & Pope AFB around '85-86.

Wildman Kike, or did Robert Downey JR sneak into the LA clubhouse?

Shit...My bad ( too late to correct) don't know why I do that (done it before) We both share the same first name too.

Being with his family and among Billy Disch & Bibb Falk sounds like a very fitting eternal resting place for Steve.

My parents lived in Okinawa from 87-91 while my dad worked for the DODs school system. He would send me tapes of the games he attended there and in Mainland Japan. He loved going to them. He’s also responsible for the books that I recommended from my previous post.

I'm sure there are others, but two good reads about Japanese baseball and their love of the game that I have found and read are "You've Gotta Have Wa" by Robert Whiting and Warren Cromartie's "Slugging it Out in Japan". Cromartie was the first and most prominent player to play in Japan while still in his prime at 30 yrs old. The legendary Sadahuru Oh was his manager while playing for the Yomiuri (Tokyo) Giants. If you have Instagram or access to it, a good follow is the midnightlibraryofbaseball. Watch the attachment below for a 3 minute peak of Season 3 Episode 5 (59 minutes) from the website/podcast of the same name,... midnightlibraryofbaseball.com

And pretty sure this was same asshole (official) who missed the PI/holding on what should have a been a TD in the endzone. SEC needs to fire this crew like they did the crew from the Auburn-GA game. Total BS the way calls went against us in the 2nd half and especially the 4th qtr.

So I finally got around to watching The Morning Show. While I know he's done other things, it was bugging me as where else I had seen Billy Crudup (Network Exec Cory Ellison in TMS). At first I thought he had played the title role in one of the Steve Prefontaine movies, but driving home late last night, Elton's Tiny Dancer came on the radio and of course I thought of the bus scene from Almost Famous. Billy is Russell Hammond, the lead singer of Stillwater. -

NSIAP... Derailing the thread to get back to why this originally came up. Cliff notes...Source? I don't need or have a source, + he didn't deny it, so there you go. -
