Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

re Millions Lose Faith In God As Dodgers, Yankees Move On To World Series

Obviously someone at The Bee is a Yankee/Dodger hater.

Actually this is a classic World Series matchup as these two teams have met in the Fall Classic numerous times.

Once upon a time I could have enumerated them for you, but I have lost interest in MLB for some reason . . .

My son made me a Yankees fan. I used to know all of the players but not anymore.

I don't know who is on the Yankees today, but 60 years ago, in 1964, there starting nine would have included, Joe Pepitone at 1b, Bobby Richardson at 2b, Tony Kubek at SS, and Clete Boyer at 3b. The outfield consisted of Mickey Mantle Roger Maris and Tom Tresh. Elston Howard was the catcher, and Whitey Ford was their best pitcher.

Google and Microsoft both desperately need to be broken into pieces thru antimonopoly law.

Duck Duck Go and Start Page provide about the same PC results as Google. I have been using DogPile with some small success.

Google has been broken for years now.

The off brand search engines have slightly better results, but they're just riding on Google's data. They don't have their own databases.

If you want usable results you need to e-search for Reddit discussions.

Yankees and Dodgers, I don't care about either team. But it should be a good series. It has two of the best batters since Ted Williams or Stan The Man, even though I prefer good pitching to good hitting.

I'm still partial to the 60's teams in my old home state. Harmon Killebrew for the Twins and Fran Tarkenton for the Vikings. I tried to keep an interest in the games but as time went on it seemed it was a money game and not entertainment. Since then, they have become the expert class in everything but uncommon sense,

1965: The Twins and the Dodgers in the WS.

I was for the Twins but the Dodger pitching was too good. They won it in 7.

The Twins had some good players. Let's see, other than the great Killebrew, there was Tony Oliva, sluggers, Jimmie Hall, Don Mincher and Bobby Allison. Earl Battey was the catcher. Zoilo Versalles was the SS. and I think Rich Rollins was still playing 3rd.

Camilo Pascual, Mudcat Grant and Jim Kaat were the top pitchers. And I think they also had Jim Perry.

Finally I recall a photo taken after the end of the 7th game with rookie Sandy Valdespino sitting dejectedly all alone on the bench in the Twins dugout. Sandy played in a lot of the series and my recollection was that he did pretty well.
