If we were doing football movies it would go something like this…
Paul Crewe…..Burt Reynolds-actor-movie was “The Longest Yard”…
Brian Piccolo…..James Caan-actor-movie was “Brian’s Song”
Jack Dundee …..Robin Williams-actor-movie was “The Best of Times”

*****Here is a good baseball “quote of the day” for you…..*****
Mickey Mantle stated that the people of Greensboro had “gone out of their way to make me feel welcome, and I’ve found something there I haven’t enjoyed since I was a kid.”

Mickey Mantle loved living and spending the time he did in Greensboro….Only missing part of this interesting story is, that Mickey Mantle loved his time in Greensboro, Georgia, and not in Greensboro, N.C. You have to still love the fact that the good ole’ Mick, gave Greensboro a good plug there….

Mickey Mantle spent several of his later years living in Greensboro…Greensboro, Georgia that is…

Another fact I found about Mickey Mantle the other day…”The Mick” was only a lifetime .298 hitter and that really hurt him as his career ended…He hated the fact that he could not have finished his baseball career, batting .300 or better…

Just a few notes on “The Mick” today, and he was also known as the “The Commerce Comet, as he was from Commerce, Oklahoma…..

    During his time at KABC(Los Angeles), Donoho was known in the Los Angeles media market for beginning and ending his sports anchor segments with sports trivia questions and for his trademark phrase, “take a hike”.

    I always liked and appreciated the work of Todd Donohoe….
