The beer works; Milwaukee is right up the road.

My brother has played for a men's league at local parks around the area.

After the games they would go to a taco wagon in the area, to have post games meals/celebrations. Soon, they had the owner of the TW show up at the park and he eventually became the team 'caterer' showing up at playe's home events.

A boom box and some beer?

I guess steak and wine for a perfect game would be better.

Beef, Chicago style, consists of thick steaks - certainly not ground up chuck in a taco shell

The White Sox used up all their good stuff for that perfect game. Tigers beat them twice today - Verlander had a complete game this afternoon, final 5-1. Tonight we beat them 4-3.

Sox had 3 errors in the early game; none tonight.

Hall of Fame weekend in Cooperstown.

Going in together, Rickey Henderson, base stealer extraordinaire, and Jim Rice.

An article about Rice. I see him a lot on NESN, doing Red Sox broadcasts.

Interesting turn of events. Not sure how I feel about this - except that Dante Stallworth, NFL, runs down a guy with his car; does 30 days (?), and then will be back playing ball. Ray Lewis does time in prison - he's back playing.

From ESPN -

MLB commissioner Bud Selig appears to be "seriously considering" reinstatement for Pete Rose nearly 20 years after the hit king was banned from baseball for gambling on the sport, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

Olney Pete Rose was a great player with a unique place in MLB history. But his tarnished legacy won't be affected one way or another by his inclusion in the Hall of Fame, Buster Olney writes. Blog » Insider

Hank Aaron's support for Rose's Hall of Fame inclusion, which he mentioned at this weekend's ceremonies in Cooperstown, N.Y., is a strong indication of Selig's possible action, the Daily News reported.

"I would like to see Pete in," Aaron said. "He belongs there."

Lobbying for the move began five years ago but died when Selig became convinced Rose was not "reconfiguring" his life, the newspaper report said, part of the late commissioner Bart Giamatti's demands on Rose when he was ruled ineligible.

"I think a lot of the guys feel that it's been 20 years now for Pete, and would lean toward leniency and time served," an unnamed Hall of Famer said, according to the Daily News. "If he had admitted it in the first place and apologized way back then, he'd probably be in the Hall by now."

If Rose were to become eligible, it stands to reason he would have to be voted into the Hall of Fame by the 65 living members who make up the Veterans Committee.

Inclusion on the writers' ballot expires after 15 years, though Rose has never appeared on their ballot except by write-in. During his first year of eligibility, Rose received 41 write-in votes.

"I know there are still guys who feel strongly against him," said another Hall of Famer, according to the report. "And I don't know if that would change even if Selig clears him."
