The 24th Is Here Again
(Stolen base record breaking speech cut & pasted from wikipedia.org)
"It took a long time, huh? (Pause for cheers). First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity. I want to thank the Haas family, the Oakland organization, the city of Oakland, and all you beautiful fans for supporting me. (Pauses for cheers). Most of all, I'd like to thank my mom, my friends, and loved ones for their support. I want to give my appreciation to Tom Trebelhorn and the late Billy Martin. Billy Martin was a great manager. He was a great friend to me. I love you, Billy. I wish you were here. (Pauses for cheers). Lou Brock was the symbol of great base stealing. But today, I'm the greatest of all time. Thank you."

I'm not the guy in the background, but I am that guy in the background of every photo.
How long is his left arm? Look how far it extends to go around the two girls!!!
That girl on the left looks like L. Lippy's ass-grope friend. Now you and Rickey both groped her. You are boner-blood brothers now.
L. Lippy was next in line for a photo, but he was so pissed those girls pictured wore the same thing as he did that day, he stormed out of the park.
I was wondering if Bill Hall could make another bad play in center.
Rickey Henderson is Rickie Weeks's hero. Also he is your hero L. Lippy.
You should get a position on the show 24. You would be so happy.
Do you go by military time and at 24:00 shoot some knuckle babies?
