Bing is really only mentioned in passing, but as baseball season is upon us (well, Stateside anyway), some of you may feel compelled to take a look at my new page, which focuses on Major League Baseball from the 1950's through the 1970's -- long before professional sports were tainted by steroids, human growth hormones, players' unions with inflated power, and the inflated player salaries which that power provided. Check for the nod to Bing below the image of the Pittsburgh Pirates' 1961 yearbook.

Re: New Blog Page
Jon, Thanks for sharing that! I hope you don't mind me sharing something. Back in 1981, the Yankees were in the World Series against the Dodgers. I was into baseball then, not so much now. My brother had season tickets. He went the first night with a friend and came home all excited because James Cagney sat not too far from him and Cagney threw out the first pitch. Hearing this, I begged my brother to take me with him to the next game. I went and didn't think Mr. Cagney would show up again but he did. I love James Cagney like I love Bing. We waved to him. People around us were singing Yankee Doodle Dandy and JC started to cry. My brother and I went near him and said Hello. I only wish I said more to him. I didn't want to bother him because he had a stroke that year and was in a wheel chair. James Cagney is the only thing I remember about that World Series.
Peace and Love!
