Myself, I will still go with Amaros's catch in '55.

Sorry GO, but May's catch makes O'Neill's look easy and I will also go with Ed, Ron Swoboda's catch was remarkable, especially if you followed those Mets and knew how bad a fielder Swoboda was.

Another easy one today. Probably could have gotten it earlier, but after putting in my usual 3 words, I had all the letters. My usual 4 today

Got this today in an email from a good friend who also cherishes movies.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/the-best-death-scenes-in-cinema-history/ss-AAXjG4V?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=46d3c97d9341478aad9b3ab5934dfffb

Can't argue with most of them and I'm sure there are several other great ones

EG Robinson--Little Caesar
Cagney-- White Heat
Henry Fonda--Once Upon a Time In the West
Bogart (Take you pick--he was always being killed off in his early flix) High Sierra
James Caan--The Godfather
Maybe the best ever was King Kong
Old Yeller
Appollo Creed--Rocky something

Sort of an easy one today but it took me 5 to get it. I guess I have to get that sea air out of my brain.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Geesh...LOL

I had a girlfriend for a long time. We had one of those "Forrest and Jenny type relationships"....i.e., I became a retard and found out she was a slut, but I digress. Anyway, her father was the same way - die hard Brooklyn Dodger fan, hated the Yankees so she inherited his genes and was the exact same way. Thought Scioscia was a "real man" that she would like to take for a ride and thought the infield of Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey were the greatest in history and Tommy Lasorda the greatest manager ever. She was avid...and annoying  >:( 2  She would only call the Yankees by her pet name, the "Yank me's". To make things worse, she was a die hard, over zealous Cowboy fan. But boy could she...never mind, I'll get banned  :scared:

I tried to stay with the Dodgers as long as I could, but once the likes of Drysdale and Koufax were gone, so was I.

You hated the Giants even more!

???????????????????????

I disliked the Giants as they were our rivals, but I always respected them. Can't even come close to my hatred for the Yankees. As I said, only Dallas is in the same room with them.

Since you guys got all but three on my list, here are a couple of hint for what they're worth...

Buster Moon - animated movie from 2016 that just released a sequel.

Chester Kent - first movie that has Cagney dancing-- With THAT hint, it has to be Footlight Parade

Christian Wolff - Ben Affleck action movie from 2016

The others, sorry, I draw a blank

I got it in 4 today. A somewhat obscure word. But more importantly then that Lenn, how was the cruise.  Where did you go?

Bill

The cruise was great, as they all are. My darling wife's theory is just get her on a ship and she's happy and you know the old adage, Happy Wife, Happy Life.

We cruised out of Baltimore and went to Bermuda and the Bahamas. Funny, we have done well over 25 cruises and this was our first time in Bermuda. Just a wonderful port.

Hey anytime you want to join us, we could organize a BBH cruise.   ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
