Everyone was pulling for the Mick. Maris was not well liked. Iiirc as they got close it was front page news every day. the foolish sayings of a rich man pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him |

As if that wasn't enough, his great throw back to the infield prevented runners from advancing. No, I'm not old enough to have seen it, just heard stories about it. the foolish sayings of a rich man pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him |

They drove miniature cars in parades, wore funny hats and had a local building similar to the one in the picture. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I still don't know what they do either other than they often are at events raising money for children's hospitals, they still wear the same things (and in parades still drive small cars). |
