Bseball Stuff

I don’t have many collectables baseball stuff but the ones I do have are pretty cool. On the left is a 1955 Phil Rizzuto baseball card. I bought this off a friend before The Scooter went into the Hall. I don’t remember him as a player, I grew up with him, White and Messer doing the Yankee games. There would be two on the TV and one doing radio and they would rotate. My favorite combination is Rizzuto and White. White had a way of getting Rizzuto going. He would say stuff like, “Hey Scooter, did you go to that Italian restaurant the other night?” They we would get three inning of Rizzuto telling us what he ate. And if the Yankees were scoring runs. Then if the Yankees were scoring runs he would say, “I talk about Italian food and the Yanks are scoring. Let me tell you what I had for dinner last week.”
To the right is Joe DiMaggio’s autograph on a paper card of him. There was a Bowery Saving Bank by me and Joe made an appearance there. My parents waited in line to see him. My mother said that grown men were crying when they saw him, telling him how great he was.
Here’s a commercial Joe was in:

It’s not the one I wanted to find. The one I wanted to post was the one with the Bowery jingle. It went something like:
“The Bowery
The Bowery
The Bowery pays a lot
The Bowery pays 6
when other banks do not.”
The bottom picture is Darryl Strawberry when he was on the Tidewater Tides. The back of the card is blank so I don’t know what year it’s from. I think it’s from “The Year Before Drugs.

Dave Brubeck

Am I missing something with today’s music? Drum machines, samples, samples of samples, auto tune mics, American Idol where people are stars in 5 minutes.
 There’s noting like live, real music.

Sean Lennon

Here’s a good one. Sean Lennon down on Walls Street. The guy is worth 45 zillion dollars. He’s not even in the one percent, he’s beyond that.
Good thing he comes from a mother who’s family is in the banking business, and who’s father was a Beatle or he would have to get a real job.

Pure sexy!

“She’s A Lady”

Can you imagine this song being released now.
“She’s the kind they’d like to flaunt and take to dinner.
Well she always knows her place.”
Women group would be up in arms. Equal rights went right out the window with this song. (lol) But since it’s Tom Jones, he could get away with it.



Well she’s all you’d ever want,
She’s the kind they’d like to flaunt and take to dinner.
Well she always knows her place.
She’s got style, she’s got grace, She’s a winner.
She’s a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, She’s a Lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady, and the lady is mine.
Well she’s never in the way
Always something nice to say, Oh what a blessing.
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she’s okay alone, and there’s no messing.
She’s a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She’s a lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady, and the lady is mine.
Well she never asks for very much and I don’t refuse her.
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her.
What she’s got is hard to find, and I don’t want to lose her
Help me build a mountain from my little pile of clay. Hey, hey, hey.
Well she knows what I’m about,
She can take what I dish out, and that’s not easy,
Well she knows me through and through,
She knows just what to do, and how to please me.
She’s a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She’s a lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady and the lady is mine.
Yeah yeah yeah She’s a Lady
Listen to me baby, She’s a Lady
Whoa whoa whoa, She’s a Lady
And the Lady is mine
Yeah yeah yeah She’s a Lady
Talkin about this little lady
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa and the lady is mine
Yeah yeah She’s a Lady
And the Lady is mine.
