[hfojvt]

1. it's a little bit less to

mine, but I guess we are both Aries.

[KitchenWitch]

3. Indeed!

:hi:

[Maestro]

2. Great pitcher in his day.

I saw him pitcher many times in the 70's when he was with the Rangers.

Edit: Happy early birthday. Mine is about that far away too, just a tad more.

4. And STILL not in the Hall.

Disgraceful. x(

[KitchenWitch]

5. Utterly disgraceful

Do not get me started.

6. Happy birthday to you both...

I went to the first game Bert ever pitched as a rookie, have a Bert Blyleven autographed homer hanky on my wall, a Bert Blyleven bobble-head on my shelf, and a "Circle Me Bert" T-Shirt in my closet...

And that he is not in the hall is a crime...

Unfortunatley I live in Virginia now so don't get to Twins games too often, once in a while when I'm visiting family in Minny, and I occasionally take a trip up to Camden Yards to see them beat the Orioles!!!

Hope you are getting to alot of games this summer...it's lookin like a good season to me!

[KitchenWitch]

7. I plan to since this is likely the last summer we will live here!

I do plan on attending Twins games at Angel Stadium when I move to California. I also plan on buying the Extra Innings package so I can watch them when I want to.

[SaveElmer]

8. I work so much I didn't buy the extra innings package...

But did subscribe to the MLB package so I can watch the games at work on my computer!!!

Good luck in California, I know it will be hard to leave God's country!!!

9. That guys curve ball was whicked....

It was like watching a fast knuckle ball....

Should be in the Hall...

For sure....

[KitchenWitch]

10. I believe he still will make it there...

He keeps getting an increase in the percentage of votes and he has several more years to be on the ballot.

[SaveElmer]

11. Well when he does...

I am gonna drive up to Cooperstown to see the induction.

[KitchenWitch]

12. I may have to fly out there for it!

I love the man. He really is a fun color commentator now, for the local broadcasts. At first Dick Bremer and Bert did not seem to get along well, but now that he has been there for several years, the interplay between them is much more comfortable.

[SaveElmer]

13. Absolutely...

They do a great job, from the limited number of times I am able to catch them!

[WCGreen]

15. Me too...

When I was in Cooperstown, the best memorablia I saw was a Gaylor Perry Autograph jar of vasoline....

Another great pitcher who called Cleveland home for a while....

14. It is a funny thing about birthdays.

Everybody seems to have one, or two.
