KNOCK, KNOCK KNOCKIN' ON PULITZER'S DOOR
by Vicente Romo
BOLDFACE NAMES AND FOUR DOTS
Light up that cigar! Just heard that the Looie Tiant documentary has been written into the Tribeca Film Festival’s lineup. There is talk of screenings on April 23rd in the East Village. Next we’ll be hearing that Ray’s slideshow has been accepted at Sundance....Congrats to Nomar Garciaparra, signed by the Oakland A's to spend considerable time on the DL. Came out of contract signing with just the normal wrist stiffness....Seeing that video of the final section (Section 5) of Shea Stadium crashing to the ground makes us wonder - how many innocent rats and mice were sacrificed to the demoliton?....Tampa has named James Shields to start on Opening Day at Fenway, April 6th. Lonborg for the Sox....George M. Steinbrenner High School in Lutz FL opens its doors in August and will have team sports but doesn't yet have a mascot, team name, or team colors. Any suggestions? We saw one for the school motto (preferably translated into Latin): "What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?! He had 30 home runs, over 100 RBIs last year! He's got a rocket for an arm. You don't know what the hell you're doing!"....So what did we think about A-Rod rediscovering his hip longstanding injury, just two days after his meeting with MLB? Our guess is that Mr. Selig et. al. would like A-Rod to disappear for a while. Hard enough to sell tickets in this economy without baseball's #1 story being that its best player is (charitble characterization) a lying cheat....Who were the players to become the first black pitcher and first black batter to face one another in an MLB game? (Answer at the end)….Lake Eisinore Storm (California A League, SD affiliate) will be holding an all-you-can-eat promotion called “Fat Tuesday” on April 14th. The first 250 fans in attendance will receive a product sample of SUBTLE BUTT. From the team’s press release – “You can probably deduce that All-You-Can-Eat ballpark food might lead to substantial gas emissions, which is where corporate sponsor, Subtle Butt, enters the picture. Made of activated carbon fabric, each disposable 3.25" square shield is held onto the inside of the underwear with two self-adhesive strips. Subtle Butt effectively filters flatulence, absorbing and neutralizing its odor." ….Fun to see Brian Cashman throwing the Yankees' "baseball people" under the bus for signing A-Rod after the opt-out. Cash looking more and more like the whining weenie portrayed by Torre/Verducci toward the end of the book.... Speaking of books, the publisher moved up the release date of Selena Roberts's A-Rod rip-job to the weekend before opening of new Stadium. Can't wait to see what else she has on the "boli" boy....Scouts are off-the-charts on O's catcher, Matt Wieters. One scout calls him a "once-in-a-generation player." Tampa's David Price not far behind. Lars Anderson is highest-rated Sox prospect by Baseball Prospectus, #17 overall....Vicente says - Don't forget to heckle the steroid users ("Ster-oids, Ster-oids" or "Chea-ter, Chea-ter" will work just fine) at the ballpark this year. Also sends a shot over the bow to jerks using as-yet undetectable stuff.... Heidi Watney’s cousin Nick has been tearing it up this season on the PGA Tour…. BLOHARDS’ resident crooner John Pizzarelli appearing with the Boston Pops in mid-May, right after his appearance at Cinqo de Mayo BLOHARDS luncheon at the Columbia Club….Trivia answer – Don Newcombe (P) of Brooklyn faced Hank Thompson of the Giants in 1949. Newcombe was also the first black pitcher to win the Rookie of the Year Award, to win 20 games, and to win the Cy Young Award (in the first year it was presented).
No matter how many times I read it, it never gets old. You definitely hit the nail on the head on this one. This is something people need to know about.

I used your instructions for making a reversible jumper and they were great.I agree with your opinions on men and how they more clean cut.
People usually talk about gender when they discuss the metero male, but I like how you link it with a historical context to class and divisions between men.
