Yesterday the Reds wore their 1969 home uniforms,
which included the baseball centennial patch.
I love the huge names on back.
Saturday I cleaned upstairs, started the laundry, did the dishes, helped Ceil bathe Barney, deleted emails, organized the junk in the garage. Will came over to borrow a dolly, to move their washer & dryer.
Later we went to a Korean BBQ restaurant in northern Alpharetta with two couples from Sunday School. I might've been the only one to not use chopsticks. A series of meats: steak, brisket, sweet pork, hot pork. All you can eat. Left full. Went back and played Progressive Spades: first an increasing number of cards per round from one to eight, then decreasing back down to one. I met my bid in every round except one, and came in second place.
Sunday School and the 11:15 service. Finally saw David Lewis and his bride Sherri Hall Lewis. Watched the Braves, and later Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit starring Chris Pine and Kevin Cosner. Black eyed peas and rice for lunch. Did more dishes and laundry. Ceil was working on school. M worked. Anna spent the weekend in Athens.
Left work at 1:30 for a two hour focus group on credit cards.
DON SUTTON5F was the Dodger pitcher who accumulated the most pitching victories since the team moved from Brooklyn. He is the only pitcher to start thirty games in a season 20 times. From 1966 to 1988 the only years he didn't have 30 GS, he had 27, 23 & 16. He gave up the first major league home runs of Ferguson Jenkins and Nolan Ryan. Jenkins' HR 23-Apr-1966 (Fergie would hit 12 more during his career); Ryan's HR 12-Apr-1980 (This is one of only 2 that Ryan would hit). He set a record when he lost his first thirteen decisions against the Cubs. From 23-Apr-1966 to 24-Jul-1969. He finally beat CHC in his 14th start against them on 10-Aug-1969 to break the streak.
