Tom,

My tongue was firmly in cheek when replying. I'm not such a whipper snapper
that I don't remember with fondness that pre-animal vitamin bygone era.

Now you know how I felt last Friday!

And the Braves are on their way to a 15th division and another loss in the
divisional series.

I know. I grew up an hour from Cincy. They are just gone so far away
from the big red machine days. I used to go see them all the time. I
still have the scar from getting caught in Pedro Borbon's car door while I
was trying to get an autograph.

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

I've heard of another minor league team like that called the Reds. A
friend told me about a big red machine that the Reds had. I can't
picture what kind of machine it was. Maybe a Shopsmith.
