Baseball season is over, and that fact alone makes me somewhat wistful. When the baseball season ends, I am always reminded of my old friend, Bart Giamatti who was a frequent visitor to my “Up Close” show. Besides being President of the National League, and later Commissioner of baseball, Bart was a poet. I think my favorite poem of his fits my mood exactly the day after the baseball season ended. Bart wrote: “It breaks

My Vote For Democracy – By Billy O’Connor, The Mick

I’m old enough to remember a February 1964 night in Miami when a brash, young, Cassius Clay ripped the invincibility mask off an aging Sonny Liston. I thought Liston was going to kill this crazy, young loudmouth. That night, a seventh-round barrage of left jabs and hooks exposed Sonny as a man quite different from the Superman image we fight fans had of him. Liston appeared to age two decades that night.  While listening to

AS TIME GOES BY – By Frank Pace, The Mook

Saturday night, my wife Karen and I attended the Billy Joel concert at the Los Angeles’ spanking new Intuit Dome. For me, the past and future merged.  Billy Joel is old, reliable and reassuring.
