The Wisconsin Badger basketball team is still “dancing”. From now on, they must face North Carolina, Arizona, Kentucky and Duke. The remaining opponents may be the four toughest programs in college basketball. In my bracketology, I’ve got Wisconsin winning it all. I never seem to learn.
After the first weekend of NCAA college basketball, my tournament picks have put me at the top of the “pool”. Wisdom prevails.
Grasshoppper No.1 bought me a mini Louisville Slugger baseball bat while she was in Kentucky several years ago. I still have it on the shelf over the my computer endorsed with my Dad’s name. He finally achieved the fame he always wanted. Louisville Slugger is “the name” in baseball bats. The Louisville Slugger business has been sold. Wilson Sporting goods plans to give it some “sizzle”. Louisville bats have always been known for the endorsement on the fat part of the bat barrel. When my Dad was coaching our teams in the 1950’s, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Ted Williams were the preferred names. The only thing that seems to have changed is that wooden bats are breaking easier. If you watch a 3 hour game (yawn), in the course of 9 innings, 3-4 bats seem to splinter. The next step will be aluminum or alloy bats. There goes 150 years of tradition!
Imagine! We will be able to watch baseball on our Apple wrist watchs.
Tomorrow is snow. Really?
Love,
Dad
