According to THIS excellent source, Germany “Liberty” Schaefer stole 2nd base, and then stole 1st. He attempted to steal 2nd again on the next pitch.
Perfectly legal in 1911 Baseball.

7 December 1941. Remember Always.
Although Japan is no longer our enemy, there are others willing to do it again. Is our government’s new administration willing to accept this probability, or are they going to ignore the odds and wait until history repeats itself?

Let’s talk some more about “unqualified for the position.” Pheeew.
The 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month
Here’s to all Veterans, past, present and future.
There is an excellent publication, Military, that should be read by all. It’s not a glossy rewrite of history, but a monthly newsprint pulp, with first-person accounts from WWII, the Cold War, Korea, Viet Nam, Afganistan and Iraq. It contains snippets of world events, past and present, not normally found in the newspapers, let alone TV, Radio, or the internest news services.
Military provides current non-classified information that the popular main-stream media typically overlooks and ignores. Well worth the admission price of $21.00 a year.
Click on this link [www.milmag.com] to get to the subscription page. I have no monetary connections or financial interests with this publication, aside from being a fan and subscriber.
The publication is proudly conservative and I recommend it highly. Regardless of your political affiliation, it is not insulting to those of differing opinions. Go for it. —Bunk
Saturday Matinee – Drums: JCB, CW, TB, GK, BR & MR
Jimmy Carl Black 1938-2008
“Lonesome Cowboy Burt” was “Harder Than Your Husband (to get along with).” Where’s my waitress?
He was one talented Mother drummer.
Speaking of Zappa’s drummers, here’s a beat-off between Chad Wackerman and Terry Bozzio, with a couple of absolutely ridiculous drum sets.
Don’t like them? Here’s Gene Krupa vs. Buddy Rich.
Don’t like them? Here’s Marky Ramone to explain it all.
Don’t like Marky Ramone?
Eh.
Fun.
It all starts on 20 January 2009, and, yeah, the guy is flexing his eel while he has window reflections in his sunglasses, as a diminutive sea bat circles a barely perceptible void in his skull. THIS CARTOON IMAGE UNKNOWINGLY VOTED FOR SOCIALISM.
Hunker down my friends. We’re in for a long 4-8 year high volume/low velocity ride downhill on a gravel road with pre-engineered potholes and no brakes. For those of you who still don’t get it, rent Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil.” Read “Animal Farm” again. Find a copy of Thomas Sowell’s “Black Rednecks and White Liberals.”
Then spread out and teach an elected Republican about the tenets of Conservatism.
Lost battles do not equate to lost wars.

Saturday Matinee on Sunday: Jaco, John, Willie, T-Bone, Helen, Sonny, Brownie, John, Memphis & others (featuring Tom Waits)
Jaco Pastorius with John Scofield. Not sure who is on drums. Pastorius is my all time favorite bass player, (with Bootsy Collins a close second).
Willie Dixon was a classic bassman. Not sure who is on the ivories, but it’s not Eubie Blake, Meade Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons or Pete Johnson. Memphis Slim?
This has gotta be one of the greatest blues lineups in history: Willie Dixon, Memphis Slim, T-Bone Walker, Helen Hume, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and John Jackson.
Emotional Weather Report delivered by Tom Waits.

More Hot Covers
(Ciclk ot mkae tehm bgeigr.)
What scares me about these is that they have SOUNDS. SOUNDS that someone liked enough to purchase, so that they could hear the SOUNDS over and over again. (I completely understand wanting to have THIS compilation, and if I ever get a cell phone, the ringtone’s gonna be Leonard Emmanuel’s “Old Timey Holler.”)
[Strider has an excellent collection of crappy album covers, with commentary, here. Related TR archive post here. New crappiness from here.]
