  1. YES, I VOTED TODAY October 20, 2020. “I don’t need to say who I voted for this morning, but I can sit here at the keyboard and list the things I voted against: 1) I voted against Marxism and Socialism, 2) I voted against a New World Order, one that isn’t good, 3) I voted against illegal immigration, 4) I voted against the continued senseless and mindless murder of unborn babies (Life begins when a sperm and egg unite and becomes a zygote), 5) I voted against all those who want to take away things our Founder Fathers founded our great nation under, such as our Constitutional Rights and “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness;” 6) I voted against those who want to erase and destroy our history and historical monuments, 7) I voted against those who dishonor our U.S. Flag (Old Glory), our National Anthem, and who dishonor God, whom this great nation was founded under, and I voted against those who disrespect our people in Law Enforcement who continue to put everything on the line in order to keep law and order and keep the American People safe.” “America is still a Free Nation, and each American Citizen has the right to vote as he/she sees fit. Hopefully the majority of Americans will vote the same way. But, if most of America doesn’t vote this way, I can always hold my head up high and say, I voted against all these things so that America can continue to be GREAT!!!“ –William Edwin Baxter, Author https://webblog305448100.wordpress.com/2020/10/20/yes-i-voted-today/
  2. I can't help by feel that has been a lot of the franchise's problem right there. The team AND the fans need to get off The Dodgers and just be The Angels, the team from Orange County.
  3. Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze were good together.
  4. I'm following her on Amazon. She has quite a story here.
  5. The number of years he was a Major League Manager and with a team that has had bad luck since 2005? -- Iron Man Principle. There are a few Iron Man Inductees in the Hall of Fame. Mike should be a definite Shoo-in.
  6. None are True. What we can be sure of is this: The worse pandemic in all of history was the Black Death in 1346, which killed over 1/2 of the world's population. What stopped (and ended) the Black Death was Social Distancing and Isolation. These will eventually end COVID-19 as well if stick to the social distancing and isolation as instructed. https://webblog305448100.wordpress.com/2020/05/10/conspiracy-theories-surrounding-covid-19-pandemic/
  7. I know the Rockies Season will be postponed awhile because Denver is under quarantine. Probably The Mariners and The Phillies Seasons will be postponed as well, meaning yes, Baseball in general will be postponed. The six-feet separation would be rather difficult in a Major League Ballpark. Once the pandemic ends, which I hope will be soon, who knows. At the very least, Baseball Season will be late starting this year.
  8. I heard about some of the things going on in California, particularly in San Francisco. Here in Colorado, they aren't much better (we have had 4 people die, including a kid in Pueblo). As of yesterday, Denver has been locked down and quarantined, along with San Francisco, Philadelphia, Seattle and other cities in the country. My city (Colorado Springs) may be next. The libraries, banks, and the malls in Colorado Springs are closed.are closed. I am in the high risk group (65 and older) and seniors are being advised to stay home, and indoors. With all the precautions that are being taken, I think this pandemic will be under control sooner than people think. The media has blown this up way to much.
  9. A lot of people through the years believe Lincoln was our Best U.S. President. He did reunite a country that was torn apart by slavery, secession, and Civil War.
  10. I don't know about that, but the Father of the Constitution was a good one. Dolly was the best First Lady.
  11. Arte Moreno is a good man, but he has never been a good owner.
  12. 1) America's All Time Best President 2) The First President and "Father of our Country." I still remember when these two days were celebrated separately.
  13. In Ancient Rome, when Claudius II was Emperor of Rome, he outlawed marriages stating that young men would make better Roman Soldiers than husbands. A Priest stood up for God and took a stand against the emperor's decree by performing underground marriages. His name was Valentine. He eventually got caught and was executed on February 14. Because of the nature of his execution, he was later venerated as a Martyr, and then canonized a Saint. The date of his execution became his Feast Day. Today, the Feast Day of Saint Valentine (February 14) is the most commercialized of all the Feast Days of the Saints.
  14. One of the last things I saw him in was the Holiday Movie, "Jingle All the Way." He and Ross Martin were good together.
  15. He was also Mr. Bray on "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman."
  16. https://people.com/movies/kirk-douglas-dead/?fbclid=IwAR2hkHvNQDsbe8w8K4Yjw1e9KQMOlQMkQ97DwbU4kkt65xyWSb7yznZCIZg
  17. I certainly don't agree with The City of Los Angeles thinking that The Dodgers should be awarded the titles. These punishments that The Astros have received are enough. Nothing has really been proven in regards to the Boston Red Sox.
  18. The Astros and The Red Sox will keep their titles. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28537712?fbclid=IwAR19iFgbGxeQNqYiowIla9IzDvYq9vbR2e49VQwa0opLOU_E4GmLXV_dlR8
  19. This is the City of L.A.'s doing (the city your team now represents), not The Dodgers doing. The Dodgers and their fans don't want these titles, not like this. It's enough they got a whole lot more class than The Astros (nothing has been proven with The Red Sox yet).
  20. Fifteen Years ago Today (January 3, 2005), The Anaheim Angels changed their name to the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" in attempt to market to all of Southern California, and not just Orange County. Following that event, three things occurred: 1) Massive Protests from Anaheim/Orange County Community: Anaheim followed up with a lawsuit against The Angels. The trial took place a year later in which the city tried to build their case on a "Violation of Good Faith and Fair Business Dealings" which does not (and did not) hold up in court as Anaheim lost the case. Most of the cities in Orange County and the City of Los Angeles provided letters of support to the City of Anaheim, and Assemblyman (now Senator), Tom Umberg introduced the "Truth in Sports Advertising Bill." Angels Fans also protested until they heard that The Dodgers and their fans hated the name change, and then they changed their colors and a boycott never got off the ground. 2) Los Angeles Dodgers and their fans (and the City of Los Angeles) Protested: The main argument was that The Angels did not play in the City or County of Los Angeles, whereas The Dodgers do. The City of Los Angeles frowned on the Angels using "Los Angeles" because they didn't pay taxes and support the City of Los Angeles like The Dodgers do. The Angels just wanted to capitalize on the name. The Dodgers responded with advertisement slogans like "This is L.A. Baseball" and "Think Blue." They came out with merchandise which reads "Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles." There have been blogs and websites entitled: "True Blue L.A." 3) Dana Parsons (Los Angeles Times) Authored in a New Urban Legend. Since the controversial name change, The Angels Organization and Team has experienced mishaps. In 2008, The Angels had the best record in Major League Baseball and ultimately and freakishly crashed and burned during the first round of the Post Season. Journalist, Dana Parsons felt that the freak collapse in the 2008 Play-offs and other Angels mishaps were more than just coincidence, and likened these to "The Curse of the Bambino (Red Sox)" and "The Curse of the Billy Goat (Cubs)." In late 2008, right after the heart breaking post-season, Dana Parson wrote his article entitled: "Angels Cursed by Moreno's Mistake" ushering in a new urban legend in Major League Baseball. However, Parsons never gave the urban legend an official name, and it hasn't caught on as much as The Bambino or The Billy Goat; but, since the article was published, The Angels have slipped back into mediocrity more and more. In the last few seasons, The Angels have finished 3rd and 4th Place in the American League West. I followed these over the years and wrote three books.
