Mean - Meaner and MeanestTue, March 9, 2010 @ 2:06PM Mean spirited people. I guess. they have always existed, the people who are harsh in judgment and unkind. Right upfront, I am a fan of freedom of expression and am in awe of the technological advantages that are at our fingertips. What I am not a fan of is the mean spirit epidemic that no one has developed any immunization for or identified it as a fatal disease. The comment sections of newspapers, blogs and anywhere that people can hide behind and spew words of malicious name-calling or humiliation is being dominated by the negative cruel individuals. I cannot believe how very disrespectful and mean spirited people are.

March 4 - Happy Birthday Lefty O'DoulThu, March 4, 2010 @ 2:40PM The Big Apple Sports Birthday celebrant for March 4 is the former Yankee, Giant and Dodger, Lefty O'Doul, who was born in San Francisco in 1897. Francis Joseph O'Doul began his pro baseball career as a southpaw pitcher with the New York Yankees in 1919. He failed to win or lose a game in three partial seasons with New York and then hurt his left arm, pitching for the Red Sox in 1923. He spent the next five years in the minors converting himself into an every day player. He resurfaced with the New York Giants in 1928, hitting .319 as a 31-year old second-time rookie. Unfortunately, O'Doul's defensive skills in the outfield did not match his hitting prowess and New york traded him to Philadelphia after that season. What a mistake that turned out to be for the Giants. All O'Doul did for the Phillies in 1929 was win the NL batting title with an incredible .398 average and a league-leading 254 hits.
