I was good for breakfast and lunch the past three days. Ate little. Yesterday I worked past 530 then stopped by Zaxbys to try their half price chocolate milkshake. Good thing I did. Got home at 630 and then C went to the grocery store to get supper. Then Matthew cooked it. C went outside and was planting all the new plants she had bought.
M cooked delicious smash burgers. Warmed up the buns, added cheese, grilled onions, and cooked up a tasty potato dish with leftovers from Kimball House. A great meal. There were two burger patties so I made mine a double burger, which was a little too much. By the time we were finished cleaning up and taking out the trash it was 845. Watched Cash Cab and one of M’s cooking shows.
Up early to lift weights at the gym this morning. Ate lunch at Longhorn with the team. Details tomorrow, if I remember.
Question of the day: who's the most unique sports character? Many named Uecker. My answer: Casey Stengel. Once doffed his hat and a bird flew out.
ROBERTO CLEMENTE [SABR Bio] was the first Latin player inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the HOF without the usual waiting period following his untimely death in a tragic aviation mishap on New Year’s Eve 1972. He led his team to two World Series championships, but won MVP in a season his team finished third in the standings. The Pirates were WS champs in 1960 and 1971. Clemente was NL MVP in 1966. He was once presented with a scroll signed by 10% of Puerto Rico’s population. The scroll of 300,000 signatures was a heart-felt tribute from the people of Puerto Rico to him for (1) his athletic excellence (notably reaching 3,000 career hits at the end of the 1972 season), (2) his humanitarian efforts, including advocacy for civil rights and aid to Latin American & Caribbean communities; and (3) his role as a cultural ambassador for Puerto Rico on the world stage.
