All About ACamp

[ACamp1900]

so friday is my big 29th... my wife and I are not home tomorrow and are staying at my sisters in long beach on thursday before going to DisneyLand on friday for my actual B Day... so we decided to open my b day presents now...

I got... (counting up to the piece de resistance)


1.) New black socks for work... I needed those bad
2.) some new shoes... I have nerve damage in my right foot from my playing days so yeah I ALWAYS need that
3.) Torre and Verducci "The Yankee Years" Hardcover... the Hardcover is key because once I am done reading it I can put it on display in our living room (dark wood baseball themed to begin with)
4.) "Soul of the Game" the last good book on Buck ONeil before he passed... again hardcover


here's where it gets good people.... you best be sitting down...

5.) An Original telecast copy of the 1979 Cotton Bowl... no explaination needed here I think
6.) Notre Dame drink coasters for the living room, my wife got me these... how freaking cool is she???

7.) Last and certainly COMPLETE opposite of least... a beautiful blue and gold ND flag for the front of the house that has each of the glorious 11 posted inset above the gold helmet... and yeah she even likes the idea of displaying it often for all the neighbors to see...








I love birthdays.... and that was only HER side of the family... my parents, sister and friends come later... "not spoiled, just well taken care of" seems to fit...

Happy Birthday, have a good one.

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

Happy Birthday ACAMP! And does your wife have a sister?

 

[ACamp1900]

Happy Birthday ACAMP! And does your wife have a sister?

two of them... both hot (like my wife) and both married to conservate marines...


I love her family... lol


btw, I already finished the "Soul of Baseball" book... nice read just a bunch of stories and thoughts from and on Buck ONeil... must have for a baseball or Buck fan...

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Happy birthday!

Hoooahhh!

I'm not a Marine, but I'm going to a family member's birthday bash on the same day. Go figger...

Damn shame he didn't get into the hall when he was alive

 

[ACamp1900]

Damn shame he didn't get into the hall when he was alive

one of the most "pissed at the baseball establishment" days I have ever had... steriods doesn't even come close...


THEY LET A WHITE FEMALE!!!! in the black wing of the HOF instead of letting Buck in...

that is the biggest wtf! in sports history.... seriously...

 

[jason_h537]

You know whats worse is that Buck bought a cell phone thatyear and only gave the number to the hall, so that he won't miss the call he never got. Then they had the nerve to ask him to speak. Like a class act that he was. Buck gave a great speech

 

[ACamp1900]

yeah I know the sad story... baseball history is kind of a passion... I'm scary with it... and yeah I stand by that... Buck dying shortly after not getting in the Hall, while a white woman got in over him, was just maddening as all hell

I'll give your Bush lovin ass some rep points if u answer this question without looking it up. Who are the only 3 baseball players to have started and ended their careers in the SAME city, but for DIFFERENT teams? and these are players you have heard of

Happy B-day, and proudly display that, especially if you are in Texas. Those hook 'em horns freaks will go nuts.

actually I have walked around Austin when EVERY OTHER soul is in burnt orange in all my ND gear and my wife ( a sooner) is in her OU gear... and we get nothing but a few strange looks...

very passionate fans but to this point anyway very respectful as long as you are likewise, I am sure that could change, but thus far I like the horn fans

Someone's stumped

 

[ACamp1900]

Someone's stumped

oh my bad, didn't see it...

I will start by saying I am a baseball history guy not a meaningless baseball trivia guy..

BUT give reps there are way more than three actually but I guess you are asking about the BIG THREE


Hank Aaron (the man I am named after and a ture Hero)
Babe Ruth
Willie Mayes

D Straw did it...Snodgrass I think did too and many others... way more than three

and I ain't a Bush lover

just a lib hater... there IS a difference

 

[jason_h537]

Oops sorry
it was Willie Mays
Good try though

 

[ACamp1900]

lol sorry little thing I do to get at my dad... I loved Hank and Lou Gehrig... he was a willie guy... so I always misspell his name, it's often a honest force of habit from my teenage years... fathers and sons


lol

 

[ACamp1900]

you know now that you brought it up technically Jackie Robinson did it too

 

[jason_h537]

[ACamp1900]

[jason_h537]

Yeah btu he refused to go. I belive his exact quote was "Screw those bastards, im a Dodger bitch!!!!!!!". he take anything the fans dished out at him, but don't EVER call him a Giant.
