Wow Thursday.....

It amazes me that so much happened on Thursday and I didn't find out about it until Friday! Baseball was shaken in two respects. Barry Bond's is indicted for purgery. Guess it doesn't matter how I feel about the record, now. It's an interesting legacy. While there will still be the staunch supporters, I have a feeling those sitting the fence in "benefit of the doubt" catergory might swing the way of "if he could lie to the grand jury, it's highly possible he could lie to the American public". I personally found his rapid pump up a tinsy bit fishy. All in all this development further adds to my respect for the guys, like Ken Griffey Jr., who chose to honor the game and play without performance enhancing drugs.
My heart breaks on the second count. Granted Cincinnati folks may love him more than others, but you cannot deny Joe Nuxhall's contribution to the game as a player or as an announcer. It makes me sad that I'll never again hear "Rounding third and heading for home". Thanks for everything, Joe.
