Just
a little video snippet I stumbled across in my search to shift my mind away
from the continued agony of our current president-elect, while also coping with
the fact that baseball is no longer being played until March, with the coming
of the World Baseball Classic tourney that will conclude at Dodger Stadium in
Los Angeles.
I’d
like to think this could be a bipartisan snippet, although I’m sure there will
be some crackpot upset that John F. Kennedy got his moment in the sun throwing
out the first pitch of the season on Opening Day at Griffith Stadium in
Washington, D.C., in 1961 – where the Senators began their season against the
Chicago White Sox.
IS
ANYBODY STILL carrying a grudge that it wasn’t “President Nixon” elected eight
years earlier than he wound up being in reality?
For
what it’s worth, three White Sox pitchers combined to defeat former White Sox
pitcher Dick Donovan in a 4-3 game on April 10.
The
White Sox that year finished fourth place, ahead of the ninth place Senators.
And the rest of baseball was absorbed by all the attention paid to Mantle/Maris
in New York and whether either could top “The Babe” in home runs for the
season.
