Thoughts That Come To You

Even the Waffle House locations in Tampa are closed & they never close during storms.

The spring time home of the Mets, Port St.Lucie, just had their police department destroyed by a tornado.

Unreal

This REALLY shows you how much baseball has changed....fifty years ago George Steinbrenner bought the New York Yankees for just TEN MILLION DOLLARS! 

When first hearing of this, I asked my dad, "How it could be?" He essentially explained it as, i'm paraphrasing, that they kinda sucked at the time. New York had become a hell hole with a failing economy. When you watch movies like, "The Warriors" that take place in New York of that era, they aren't actually far from reality.

Hey Midnight 1-Your thread here has a life of its own and has grown legs and took off. It belongs in the archives!

Not much seems to matter anymore. 

Fernando Mania is now inside the Pearly Gates. Crazy thing, the year he won 21 games...TWENTY of them were complete games. Pitchers today don't make it past five innings!

It's amazing how facing tough times can help someone see the beauty in life. Your friend’s thoughts about NFL fans show how much passion people have for their teams, which is really cool. Sports can bring people together in such a fun way, even when life is hard. It’s a great reminder to appreciate the good moments we have. Thank you for sharing this experience!

Same. I always try do my part to pay it forward. I think the notion contributes to you being the man you are, brother. Always doing your part to pay it forward. It's all we can do. All we can do is our best.

I grew up in the Northeast where stories began with "A long time ago" or "Once upon a time."

Moved to Florida in 74 & learned Southern stories begin with "Y'all ain't gonna believe this shit."

True dat!

The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

The guy who invented the wheel was an idiot.

The true genius was the guy who invented the other 3.

I'm more if a lever guy myself.
