    >		Willie Mays, 5/6/31, aged 62
    
    Wow, Willie Mays, already 62.  A most excellent birthday to the Say Hey
    Kid.  When I was a boy I always traded my Mickey Mantles away for ol' 
    #24...
    
    glenn
    

Sey Hey - We're all getting old when my boyhood hero turns 62.

BTW glenn -

The Mantle cards are worth about twice as much as the Mays cards these days...
(Kinda like trading Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio).

=Bob=

    
    I realised lasted night that we were all getting old when my
    contemporaries are lusting after Jill on HI, with nary a word about
    what's-her-name on MWC.  I wonder if my Dad was lusting after Barbara
    Billingsly instead of Barbara Eden when he was my age?

From what old fight fans tell me, the greatest!!

    you were talking to Lee?

    Hi to you too, Brucie.
    
    Joe Lewis was the greatest of his time.  And he covered a lot of time.
    
    I always felt bad that he was taken advantage of by his "associates".
    He earned a lot of money, but ended up broke and in debt to the IRS,
    mainly because of poor investments and probably some outright theft.

re: Joe Louis

My Mom (yes my Mom) was a big boxing fan in her younger days.  She closely
followed Louis and watched Ali.  She felt that Louis would have beaten Ali
in a close fight.

I think they did a computer matchup of the two sometime during the early 
eighties, and Louis came out on top.

    Golfing great Sam Snead is 81 today. He probably holds the world record

    The greatest athlete of the first half century-Jim Thorpe was born in
    1888. I wonder who will be selected athlete of the centry.

    
      Basketball legend Jerry West is 55 today.

Sam was pretty good, HoF in fact.

But the NFL doesn't use him for a logo so I guess that Jerry's still the
bestest from West Virginee. 

TTom

    Billy Maz is probably baseball's best from West Virginia, but that also
    falls short of Jerry West...

>    Billy Maz is probably baseball's best from West Virginia, but that also

Yabbut, that homerun in Game 7, 1960 has to rank as one of baseball's
most memorable....

West never did THAT 8^)    

One of my earliest recollections of sports was Maz's homer against the
Yankees (I believe) to win the series.

Wasn't it about the same time that Harvey Haddix pitched 12 perfect
innings and lost the game in the 13th?

Someone else in the news a lot who's from W.Va. is Rod Thorn, he of
handing out NBA fines and suspensions fame.

TTom

    Haddix pitched his game a few years earlier than 1960.
    
    Maz actually had pretty good lifetime stats. That HR became what he is
    remembered for and ironically may have hurt him in HOF voting. Anyone
    have Maz's stats??

 maybe Not Saw, but up in the bed room listen to radio and JM, you'd have
 sworn West never missed a shot in the playoffs....

 and if memory serves me right he hit like a three quarter court shot as
 time was expiring to either win or send a champioship game into OT that
 the Lakers won....

 I naturally hated the man without any knowledge of him. Funny how Johnny
 could do that you....

 mike

    Game 5 of the 1970 Finals, West hit a 55 footer to tie the game. Knicks
    won in OT. That was the game that the Lakers led by 17, Willis Reed got
    injured, but the Knicks still pulled out the win.
    
    The Crazy Met
    

    re: -1
    
    Small nit,TCM-it was game 3. Knicks won in OT-Lakers would have won
    under 1993 rules(it would have been a 3).
    
    Game 3 was at the Forum. The memorable win without Reed was game 5 at
    the Garden.

re: .57

if you take a real close look at the tape of West's shot, the shot should
not have counted.

Well, let's see.    If feel lucky that I'm healthy and able to get around

in a wheelchair, barely able to function, and I thought about how fortunate
I am to be able to do something as simple as walk.

I'm lucky that I have people who care about me and care about what happens
to me.

I'm lucky because I have good friends, who are always there for me.

And I guess I'm lucky because I can look at all the problems in my
life, and when I think really hard about it, I realize that there are folks
out there who have far more and far worse problems than I do....

	I was 14 at the time, going to school in Ft.Worth. Skipped school to go
downtown for a parade in his honor. We had been back at school about an hour 
when the news came from Dallas. Needless to say everyone was in shock having 
seen him in Ft Worth that morning.

         Next thing you know Jack Ruby has offed Oswald and the rumors began
flying about a conspiracy. Lots of speculation about LBJ and others. It was also
a little strange when Oswalds wife married a FBI man the next year. 

	Some of the rumors could have been disspelled if John Connelly's
 family had allowed an autopsy to verify the bullet fragments logged within
 his body.
