On Monday night, Soccer player Brandi Chastain was awarded a plaque with her likeness on it by the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame to be displayed at the San Fransisco Airport. It is a huge honor for her, but there was just one little problem. It does not look anything like her. I think it looks like Harpo Marx, while others see it looking like Jimmy Carter or Gary Busey. Who do you think it looks like?
Jimmy Kimmel wanted to know who she thinks it resembles, so he asked her all about it on the show last night. She says she sees Mickey Rooney.
How did she feel when she saw it? She was so caught up in the moment that she did not even look at it until after she took several pictures with the plaque. Once she got a good glimpse of it, she was like what is going on here?
Did she flip her lid like most of us would do? She laughed it off and now BASHOF is working on a new one that will hopefully look more like her than everyone else but her. Something, this time around, she says will get approval on. Which is a good thing for her.
Is she upset with BASHOF? Not at all because they are a great organization that helps underprivileged kids. She made sure to point that out before their interview was over.
I wonder how Lucille Ball would have reacted if she saw that horrendous bronze statue in her likeness. She probably would have said a lot of words she could not have said on any of TV shows.
Ronald Guzmán decided to become a baseball player, but after this move it looks like he made the wrong choice. The Texas Rangers first baseman could also double duty as a cheerleader with a split like that. Too bad the MLB does not have them cheering on the teams like football does.
When I was a kid I loved baseball. I loved going to games. I loved that energized feeling. Then they went on strike and this Yankees turned Mets fan who accepted the Marlins, said enough is enough.
Since then ticket prices have skyrocketed and people stopped going to see baseball games. Case in point on Tuesday, Rick Tarsitano says that 10,227 people paid to attend the White Sox game, but Tampa Bay Times’ Mark Topkin say only 974 people showed up to see his Rays play. Who to believe? I think we can all agree that Sporting News picture says it all because it screams empty stadium. Which is beyond sad.
I think the reason why ratings are down for all sporting events is because parents cannot afford to take their kids to games anymore. Therefore, kids do not have a reason to watch because there is nothing like the thrill of seeing a game in person. It is not the same watching it on TV. Thus, if they want the ratings to go up, then they need to lower the prices. Otherwise, they will all slowly fade away like a ball that goes over the wall.
NYC and Boston have has a long running feud and I am not only talking about the Yankees and the Red Sox. Yesterday, it was all about the latter. Not once but twice, the two MLB teams got into a bench clearing brawl. The first time was when a Bronx Bomber slid into second base with his cleat up and cut the second baseman. That is when both teams ran out to the field, but nothing happened that time.
A few innings later as Tyler Austin was at bat, Joe Kelly hit him with a pitch. Instead of walking to the first base, Austin ran right towards the pitcher. As Austin ran towards the mound, so did both teams. Giving us a short quick brawl that caused 4 players to be ejected from the game.
Like the fight, the Yankees won the game. When it Boston going to learn not to mess with NY. This Bronx girl witnessed that in ’86 when the Mets showed them who is #1!
BTW those were the second and third bench clearing fights of the day. San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies also had one.
If this keeps up, I am going to have to become a become a baseball fan. Not only because I like fights, but these players are really cute. So cute I want to run the bases with them. If you know what I mean.
Conan O’Brien has done a lot of foolish things in his career and the TBS host thought he had a chance of beating Magic Johnson in a game of HORSE. How did he do? It was a slam dunk for the NBA legend. When it comes to the host, well let’s just they probably turned him into glue after this game. Especially since his legs are the same color as Elmer’s Glue, whiter than white.
Talking about white, Conan idolized Larry Bird when he was younger and he found a way to include him the game. He made a mask of the Celtics player and wore it for it good luck. It worked because he actually got the basketball to go through the hoop. Since it worked for him, Magic thought he would do the same. The Great White Hope worked his magic on Magic too. Now I need some magic to get that image out of my head. How weird did he look with a white face? Almost as weird as Conan with his white face. That joke didn’t work.
Oh and now I am craving Jack in the Box, does anyone know the app for Doordash?
