Thought of the Day
RIP to the great pitcher Vida Blue, who passed away at age 73.
Only one player in MLB history won:
— an MVP
— a Cy Young award
— 3+ World Series titles
— 200+ games as a pitcher
Vida Blue is the only player to do that. RIP, sir.
Monday’s quiz
From 1972-74, the A’s won three straight World Series; who did they beat in those World Series?
Sunday’s quiz
In the movie Little Big League, a 12-year old kid inherits the Minnesota Twins from his grandfather, who was played by Jason Robards.
Saturday’s quiz
Mark Jackson was head coach of the Warriors before Steve Kerr.
*************************************************
Monday’s Den: My 13 favorite Batman (TV) villains
13) Chandell (Liberace)— The gifted piano player was both Chandell (the piano player) and his twin brother Harry who it turns out, was the real villain.
Trivia: Two Batman villains also had roles in Magnum PI; Howard Duff (Cabala) played Magnum’s grandfather. Barbara Rush (Nora Clavicle) played Magnum’s Aunt Phoebe, a playwright who had Alzheimer’s, and was also in another earlier episode.
12) Bookworm (Roddy McDowell)— Appeared in two episodes; Bookworm’s crimes were inspired by literary works, well, because he likes books.
McDowell also appeared in the Batman animated series in the early 90’s.
11) Colonel Gumm (Roger C Carmel)— He loved the color pink and was obsessed with stamps; Colonel Gumm appeared in the two-episode crossover with The Green Hornet, with Bruce Lee as Kato and Van Williams as the Green Hornet.
Trivia: There were three different Mr Freeze’s; Eli Wallach, Otto Preminger, George Sanders.
10) Siren (Joan Collins)— Played a sidekick to The Riddler’s devious plan to take over Gotham City’s boxing industry, but she also wanted to uncover Batman’s true identity.
9) The Archer (Art Carney)— Ed Norton from The Honeymooners was also a Batman villain!!!
Archer’s character was based (loosely) on Robin Hood; his henchmen were Maid Marilyn, Big John, and Crier Tuck.
8) King Tut (Victor Buono)— Appeared in eight episodes; Buono supposedly loved playing the character because it allowed him the chance to over-act, one of the aspects of the character that made King Tut so beloved by fans.
7) Marsha, Queen of Diamonds (Carolyn Jones)— Better known for playing Morticia Addams on The Addams Family, Ms Jones was in five episodes of Batman, joining Addams Family cast members John Astin, Ted Cassidy in making Batman appearances.
6) Egghead (Vincent Price)— When I was a kid, would often substitute (eggs-ellent) for excellent when talking to my family. For a little kid, that was eggs-citing. Vincent Price was awesome in this role, an egg-centric guy with a very strangely-shaped head.
5) Mad Hatter (David Wayne)— This villain was obsessed with getting his hands on Batman’s cowl, which of course didn’t happen.
Wayne also appeared in four movies with Marilyn Monroe.
4) Penguin (Burgess Meredith)—Is more famous for playing Rocky Balboa’s trainer Mickey, but Meredith appeared in 20 Batman episodes, most of any villain.
3) Catwoman (Julie Newmar)— Lee Meriwether, Eartha Kitt also played Catwoman, but Julie Newman was the best of the three; she was 5-11, a prima ballerina for the Los Angeles Opera who graduated high school when she was 15.
in 2004, her next-door neighbor Jim Belushi sued her for $4M alleging harassment and defamation of character, as a result of a dispute over leaf-blowing.
2) Joker (Cesar Romero)— Appeared in 19 episodes, 2nd-most of any villain. Romero refused to shave his mustache and you can see it under his white face paint.
Romero had a long, excellent career; he appeared in the first Oceans Eleven (1960). He was also in an episode of Magnum PI, playing a jewel thief whose daughter was also a thief.
1) Riddler (Frank Gorshin)— No one wore the green body suit with the big ???’s on it better than Gorshin, who had a long career as a TV guest star, appearing in CSI, Wonder Woman and the original Hawaii Five-O, among many other shows.
John Astin played The Riddler for two episodes, but of course he was way more famous as Gomez Addams in The Addams Family.

************************************************** **
Tuesday’s Den; Nobody asked me, but…….
— Greetings from America’s favorite city, Las Vegas. Flew here Monday morning; I haven’t slept much in the last 40 hours, so excuse any spelling errors here. I’m going to bed very soon.
Travel was good, fairly normal. Was raining hard in Chicago when we left there; surprised the Cubs played last night.
— One of the flight attendants told me I looked like actor Christopher Lloyd; nothing like being told you look like an 84-year old when you’re 63.
— Spent most of Monday night in the Westgate Superbook, watching baseball, NBA playoffs and the Vegas-Edmonton hockey game. Was very fun; people were into the basketball game.
— Lakers 104, Warriors 101
Lonnie Walker scored all 15 of his points in the 4th quarter.
Steph Curry scored 31 points, had 14 assists, 10 rebounds, but he was 12-30 from the floor, taking twice as many shots as any other Warrior. He was only 3-14 on the arc.
Lakers lead this series, 3-1.
— Miami 109, Knicks 101
Miami’s bench outscored New York’s subs, 33-10.
Bam Adebayo had 23 points, 13 rebounds for Miami.
Heat leads this series, 3-1
— When I was a little kid, May 8th turned out to be a big day a couple of times; couldn’t let it pass this year without mentioning it.
May 8, 1968, in their first month playing in their new home ballpark, Catfish Hunter threw a perfect game for the A’s— he even drove in three of Oakland’s four runs in that game, going 3-4 at the plate, five years before the DH happened. I was in third grade.
Then two years later, May 8, 1970, it was a Friday night- I was playing wiffle ball out in the street and my father ordered me in the house- he never did that. My friends thought I was in trouble, but I hadn’t done anything wrong.
Turns out Game 7 of the Knicks-Lakers NBA Finals series was starting; I had been rooting for the Lakers in that series, but he was giving me one last chance to join him and my sister rooting for the Knicks. I declined his offer, then watching the Knicks crush the Lakers. Took some grief that night.
— NFL is going to release its 2023 schedule Thursday night at 8:00; they’ll leak some highlights before then, but there will be a lot to go over starting Thursday night.
— Apparently last year the Washington Commanders were making inquiries as to whether QB Andrew Luck was interested in returning to the NFL. This is against the rules; Luck is still under contract to the Colts, he couldn’t just bolt to another team.
That probably helps explain why Colts’ owner Jim Irsay wasn’t too helpful with Daniel Snyder’s issues owning/selling the Washington franchise.
— Juan Soto’s on-base % the last three weeks: .414/.381/.414, pretty good, but despite being on base 12 times last week, he didn’t score any runs. San Diego’s offense, once you get past the #4 spot in the lineup, hasn’t been productive, a big part of why they’re struggling.
— Kansas State football coach Chris Kliemann is signing a 5-year, $44M contract extension; he is 30-20 in five years at K-State, 20-16 in conference games.
— Most wins by NFL teams the last four years, counting playoffs:
Chiefs 62, Bills 51, Green Bay 49
— QB Nick Foles has earned $82M+ in his 11-year NFL career; his W-L record is 33-31, but three of those wins in 2017 got the Eagles their first Super Bowl title.
— There are 10 college basketball players who played in the ACC last year, who this spring have transferred to another ACC school. There used to be a rule if you transferred within a league you had to sit out two years, not one, but that was a long time ago.
— There were 1,628 kids in the college hop transfer portal as of Sunday night; 69 of them withdrew, 701 bolted to new schools, but there are still 848 other players looking for a new home.

Monday’s quiz
From 1972-74, the A’s won three straight World Series; they beat the Reds, Mets, Dodgers in those series.
************************************************
Wednesday’s Den: 13 of my favorite movie scenes…….
13) Jack Nicholson as Colonel Jessup on the witness stand in A Few Good Men– “You WANT me on that wall; you NEED me on that wall!!!” Great acting.
12) In Prince of Tides, when Nick Nolte’s character takes Barbra Streisand’s husband’s Stradivarius violin and dangles it over the edge of the balcony, until he apologizes to his wife for being rude. Then he tosses the million-dollar violin in the air but catches it, then walks out of the dinner party.
11) In Any Given Sunday, when QB Willie Beamen visits the coach’s house for dinner and a “talk” and coach Tony D’Amato lectures him— “You’re the goddamn quarterback!!!”
I think this scene is better than the “Game of Inches” speech that Pacino gives near the end of the movie, before the last game.
10) Rocky II wasn’t a good movie, but the last fight scene, where Rocky Balboa wins the heavyweight title for the first time, is a great fight scene, probably the best scene in all the Rocky movies.
9) In the movie Heat, there is a scene with Al Pacino (the cop) and Robert DeNiro (bank robber) where they actually talk in a diner about how someday, their situation will come to a head and either the arrest will be made, or harm will come to the cop. DeNiro and Pacino; a great scene.
8) Susan Sarandon and James Spader were in a 1990 movie called White Palace; I only saw this movie for the first time in the last couple years.
There is a scene where a lot of people were at Thanksgiving dinner and they’re talking about politics; the patriarch of the family is Steven Hill (the original DA on Law and Order).
When a younger person says something Hill’s character sees as uninformed, he snaps at her, “Would it kill you to pick up a newspaper?” Good stuff.
7) In the true story Invincible, when 30-year old bartender Vince Papale breaks the news to his best friend that he made the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster, despite never having played college football.
6) In Friday Night Lights, when the coach (Billy Bob Thornton) delivers a halftime speech when his team is getting smoked. He talks about “being perfect” and how giving your all is the most important thing of all.
Of all the sports movies I’ve seen, I think Thornton’s character in this movie is the best portrayal of a coach that I’ve seen.
5) In the original Bad News Bears, when the coach is talking to his worst player, ordering him into the championship game- the kid is too nervous to go out and play.
“Listen, Lupus, you didn’t come into this life just to sit around on a dugout bench, did ya? Now get your ass out there and do the best you can.”
4) In Roxanne, Steve Martin’s character has a very long nose, like Cyrano de Bergerac; guy in a bar insults his long nose, the whole bar shuts down, and Martin mocks the insult.
“I suppose you could do better?” and Martin proceeds to give 20 jokes (actually 26) that were all funnier than the guy’s insult.
3) In Rounders, the scene where Mike (Matt Damon) finds his law professor (Martin Landau) in a restaurant and the professor tells him how his parents disowned him because he chose to study the law instead of becoming a rabbi.
2) Oakland A’s 20-game winning streak in Moneyball; at least they showed Miguel Tejada’s walk-off homer in the 18th straight win- they gave him almost no credit in the book/movie for how good the A’s were that year— he was the best shortstop in the game that year.
1) Bob Cousy shooting free throws in an empty gym with Nick Nolte in Blue Chips. Cousy was 65 at the time, made 10 in a row while wearing a shirt and tie- they filmed the scene in one take. He made the last foul shot left-handed.
