Crazy Train

Thanks to USA Today columnist, Whitney Matheson, for choosing the SOB as Reader of the Day on her blog – Pop Candy.

Here’s the permalink to the SOB profile. Some of the comments are pretty funny.

I’ve listened to preachers. I’ve listened to fools.

  2. The Royals just left town, swept the Cardinals in three games, and I thought that Don Denkinger had retired.

    A major-league umpire for 31 seasons, Denkinger is best remembered for being at the center of the most controversial play of the 1985 World Series. The St. Louis Cardinals led the Kansas City Royals in the Series 3-2 and were ahead in the ninth inning of the sixth game, 1-0. Denkinger called the Royals’ Jorge Orta safe at first on a grounder to the Cardinals’ Jack Clark, but TV replays showed that the throw to pitcher Todd Worrell had beaten Orta to the bag. Kansas City went on to rally for two runs, averting elimination, and the next day won the Series.
