My grandfather passed away the week before Thanksgiving -- he had an autographed photo of Bob Feller that someone had gotten for him some years ago, and we put it on display at the funeral home for the viewing. Although my grandfather lived in New Jersey, he was an Indians fan, both because he hated the Yankees (and the Indians were the only team to challenge the Yankees' dominance of the AL in the years after World War II), and because both he and Feller were originally from Iowa. So I had also recently had a "wow, Bob Feller is still alive" moment, when we looked it up. I'm right now watching Bing Crosby's recording of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series on MLB Network, which has nothing to do with Bob Feller, but is still interesting. Would be more interesting if they hadn't cut out all the commercials and sponsorship announcements. -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
