GA Russell Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I would guess that she was born in the early 40s, making her almost 70 now. How long ago was that picture taken? Quote
brownie Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I cheated and found out She's prettier on that image than on the other photos I have seen of her. Quote
JSngry Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I would guess that she was born in the early 40s, making her almost 70 now. How long ago was that picture taken? Within the last 10 years, I think. Quote
GA Russell Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Mamie Van Doren Correct, Valerie! I still associate her with Bo Belinsky and Aqua Velva! Quote
JSngry Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 The guy in the tuxedo - guess who? Hint - the remembrance of the name was triggered by a comment in GA's post above this one! Quote
T.D. Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Dean Chance! I googled Bo Belinsky, and ultimately came up with the Belinsky tribute boxing link. I was born in MN and remember Chance's big ('67) year with the Twins, but was too young to comprehend the Belinsky party stories... Quote
JSngry Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Dean Chance it is! Now living on a farm with his mom: http://www.cleveland.com/sports/index.ssf/2009/05/woosters_dean_chance_a_highsch.html Quote
T.D. Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 This is thematic, but probably too easy... Quote
paul secor Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 The Spaceman looks like he's had a few too many or a bit too much. Quote
T.D. Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Right! I wanted to post a pic of a famous baseball flake, and Jay Johnstone would've been even easier. Quote
GA Russell Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 That looks like Jimmy Piersall! I remember in '64 when he stepped up to the plate wearing a Beatles wig! Quote
ValerieB Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Mamie Van Doren Correct, Valerie! I still associate her with Bo Belinsky and Aqua Velva! me, too, that's so funny! i was going to mention that. That looks like Jimmy Piersall! I remember in '64 when he stepped up to the plate wearing a Beatles wig! i was witness to a lot of his shenanigans in Boston! cannot imagine how his wife dealt with him and his problems and their 9 children!!

ValerieB Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 OY!!! i've known him for almost my entire life. Quote
paul secor Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 As Luis Tiant used to say in his Yankee Franks ads: "It's great to be with a Wein-er." Quote
ValerieB Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 As Luis Tiant used to say in his Yankee Franks ads: "It's great to be with a Wein-er." LOL!!! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 I was lucky enough to live in the Boston area during the Tiant era. My office was 3 stops from the park and bleacher seats were only a buck or two, and plentiful. Many days I took advantage of this situation. Quote
GA Russell Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 I saw Tiant pitch for the Red Sox once in Baltimore. It was a doubleheader in 1975. We had seats in the upper deck directly behind home plate. (I'd never sat there before.) Tiant pitched one game. Mike Cuellar pitched the other. They both pitched complete games and won. Tiant had his screwball, and Cuellar had his Cuban palmball, and it was eighteen innings of the ball squiggling into the catcher's mitt! I'll never forget it. Quote
ValerieB Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I was lucky enough to live in the Boston area during the Tiant era. My office was 3 stops from the park and bleacher seats were only a buck or two, and plentiful. Many days I took advantage of this situation. and when i spent half my life in the late '50s in the bleachers, tix were 50 cents!!! (and we got to flirt with the pitchers in the bullpen!!)
