"Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die."
by Tommy Blackjack on Sep 22, 2011 8:48 PM PDT up reply actions
I’ll see if I can find the whole story for ya.
Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.
Here it is:
Red had always said to me ‘Never get close to the players, because it psychologically might alter your judgment. You don’t want to criticize a good friend and then it makes your description less clear and honest.’ Of all the fellas on the team—and I was virtually as young as most of them—Ralph Branca [who gave up the home run] was my closest friend. His wife-to-be was Ann Mulvey, and a couple of times I dated her roommate, and the four of us would just go out to dinner, that kind of thing. So I remember watching the home run, seeing Ralph, that big body just slump over and walk off. I knew where Ann was sitting, and I remember seeing her with a handkerchief up over her face. It was very hard. I remember going into the clubhouse. In the old Polo Grounds, you were in the press box behind home and the clubhouse was in centerfield; that’s about 480 feet or so, and you walked on the field all the way across, and then you went up a flight of stairs—one to the Giants’s side and one to the visitors. When I went up to ours, Ralph was spread-eagle on the stairs with his face down—there’s a classic picture of that—and I looked, horrified, and I kind of tiptoed around him and went over into the trainer’s room. Now, it was deathly quiet in our clubhouse, not a sound, but just across a very short hallway was the Giants clubhouse, and I mean, they were going wild! It’s bad enough to lose, but to hear the guys who have just beaten you, it really added to the atmosphere. I remember Pee Wee Reese was sitting on a rubbing table—Jackie Robinson was on another—and they were both quiet. I came in and I sat over in the corner. All of a sudden Pee Wee said, ‘You know Jackie, what’s always amazed me?’ And Jackie said, ‘What Pee Wee?’ And he said, ‘After all these years that this game hasn’t driven me crazy.’ I’ll always remember that. The impact was so great. The Dodgers were 13 and a half games in front in August and they wind up losing.

And then there's this
In the clubhouse, Russell Martin slowly shook his head, the team’s future leader noting the frustration in having a voice that he can’t yet use.
“There are times I felt like I wanted to say something, but it’s just not my time,” he said. “I’m not going to be one of those young guys who talks a lot. I need to have the team’s respect before I do that. And I still have to earn that respect.”

Roosevelt had him down
he is the worst example of this I can think of (emphasis mine)….
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

I’ve always disliked that point of view. The critic has an important place. It is the critic who has the distance to put the art into focus. The critic can tell us where the artist fits, using the long view of history as his guide. There is a reason we call the best thinking critical thinking. It is the critic that forces the artist to sharpen his thought, his feeling, his nerve; it is the critic that makes the artist great.
Bill Plaschke is not a critic. He is an idiot.

the version of the critic that you are speaking of is taking part in the creative process, that critic is participating, and risking, and shaping art, society, whatever, to a better end
I don’t think that is what Roosevelt was talking about
he was talking about armchair pockshots, taking no risk, creating no value, making their living by always sniping and never risking. Being critical for the absence of anything else

Leo Nunez, the Florida Marlins closer, isn’t really Leo Nunez:
One of the people said Nunez’s real name is Juan Carlos Oviedo and he’s 29, a year older than listed in the team media guide. The Marlins placed Nunez on Major League Baseball’s restricted list, and he isn’t expected to pitch in the final week of the season.
This was pretty funny
So the Giants gave the Cy Young to Clayton Kershaw. There are arguments for Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay, and Ian Kennedy if you’re 83 years old and sun-addled, but it’s going to Kershaw.
