In his own way Thorpe made Thunder of his own with his athletic prowess. A male Babe Didrickson who excelled at any sport from baseball to track to football. Voted the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th Century. Thorpe was also your first ever NFL commisioner in 1920.

In 94 degree heat there was a 13 inning affair for the Rangers and Blue Jays. Josh Hamilton with a huge contribution on a 1-2 count with Texas trailing by a run. After a drought of going deep since his 4 homer affair in Baltimore on May 8th home cooking has been more than amenable for Captain Whammy Hammy.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-16468627.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>That Was Some Cruz Missile!</title><dc:creator>Will Martin</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2012 12:53:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/2012/5/26/that-was-some-cruz-missile.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">376768:4058929:16457105</guid><description><![CDATA[Of course this will be a historic weekend in Arlington. Sunday the 27th will mark the 23rd home date the Texas Rangers have played. They will also surpass the 1 million mark for fan attendance. This is the fastest Texas has hit that mark in their history.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-16457105.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>A Myriad of Memorial Memories!</title><dc:creator>Will Martin</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2012 13:02:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/2012/5/25/a-myriad-of-memorial-memories.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">376768:4058929:16457733</guid><description><![CDATA[Over the years I have accrued many a Memorial Day memory that has stuck with me.

More on that in a moment.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-16457733.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Ever The Straight Shooter!</title><dc:creator>Will Martin</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 13:18:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/2012/5/24/ever-the-straight-shooter.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">376768:4058929:16458949</guid><description><![CDATA[January 1963 America was mourning the loss of Marilyn Monroe and fearing what could have been with the just averted Cuban Missile Crisis. To this day these events of October 1962 are such that I am told by those in the know that we will never understand much less comprehend just how close to a war we were. Overseas there was a new threat with Russia and Mr. Khruschev. He would not bury us! A certain couple now had some plans in place.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-16458949.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Three and A Half (Bleeping) Pages?!?</title><dc:creator>Will Martin</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 23 May 2012 13:54:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/2012/5/23/three-and-a-half-bleeping-pages.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">376768:4058929:16460101</guid><description><![CDATA[Bartender Gary is a HUGE Yankee fan being from the Jersey shore and all. As he was talking shop with this morning he reminded me of an incident that was the precursor of what was to come with the rookie this day in 1977.  Not so much rookie as in age, rather in terms of how to handle the media...and teammates...wrongly!]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-16460101.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Lyrics From A Beatles Tune!</title><dc:creator>Will Martin</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 22 May 2012 13:41:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/2012/5/22/lyrics-from-a-beatles-tune.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">376768:4058929:16463401</guid><description><![CDATA[Ten years prior to Carson hanging it up his friend David Letterman began doing Late Night with the hope of replacing him on 5/22/92.

This happened at some point in the 13th or 14th inning. I first noticed the managers in each dugout for the Orioles and Red Sox. I saw Buck Showalter and Bobby Valentine. At one time each man skippered the Rangers.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://masterofnothing.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-16422203.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
