CommentsSounds like there could be some excitement brewing...if there is indeed to be a softball or street hockey reunion of sorts. Extremely sad that the YouTube songs have disappeared that Nigel and Bubba posted. Wish I had written them down. Not to mention all of the hilarious and quite interesting posts. Even if there were a few folks who found it boring. I do hope they found something to like somewhere. I have a "blogspot" if anyone is of a mind to say Hello. It's called "BlueCieloSmile@blogspot.com" Don't know if you need the "www" or the "http" thing in front. Doesn't have to be specifically about Dorchester, although any and all reminiscences are welcome, especially if they are from the mid 60's to early 70's. Dr. Tufnel, Bubba, Tommy D. and any one else. The whole "opinion and humor" thing has been fun during these last very grey and cold months. Any one up for a Blues Trivia quiz? Looking for a Monday Morning song from Nigel to start the week just wasn't the same today. Even my MalloCups tasted different! Although I did have a fleeting chance to see Nigel's YouTube Hasselhof number early this afternoon. Again, laughing out loud at the genius of it. I sure hope it was a satire stunt or something because that would surely be a career killer for that guy. Anyway, Hello to all. Keep in touch.

CommentsI keep hearing about the pizza at HiFi. Sadly never had a chance to sample it. There was an amazing sub shop, I think up on Bowdoin Street, closer to the St. Pete's end, that made the most mouth-watering Italian sub in this country. If I try hard enough I can still taste it. I have never found another place that makes a sub like that in all the years since, in any city I have visited. Something to do with the type of dressing they put on it. Holy Cow. Nigel, which bridge are you under these days?

CommentsWhen I was a kid I used to fish off the Neponset Bridge. These days I prefer to hang out underneath it with a bottle of Boone's Farm. Every once in a while the Feds show up and try to dig up another one of Whitey's victims. It helps pass the day. I'd always believed that I'd grown up in a nice,relatively crime free city. Recently I read Howie Carr's book on the Bulger brothers and I now realize that all that time there was murder and death going on all around me. Just goes to show you things aren't always as they appear. Depressing enough for ya?

CommentsDear "NotSoCluelessNow", I lived in the MHH Dorchester neighborhood from March 12th, 1967 until mid October 1972. In my defense I did have a ridiculously bizarre childhood so it isn't that odd that I was not aware of, nor a participant in, many of the more recreational aspects of the old neighborhood. This to my immense regret. I also got my working permit (remember those?) the day I turned 14 so as to obtain the dream job working in the legendary Filene's Basement. Worked as many hours as was legal after school and weekends. That also contributed to preventing me from indulging in some of the more fun things like parades and the all important teenage girl past time of boy watching, which I imagine the parade would be perfect for, among other things. Perhaps if I'm fortunate enough to be in town this year when the parade is held, I can make a video of the whole thing, from start to finish, and see a little of what I've missed in the past. Sounds good to me!

CommentsThe Dot Day light pole climb isn't something you just do willy-nilly. It requires careful planning in order to be pulled off effectively.Someone must be waiting on Linden St,next to the 1310,with the motor running,a spare set of clothes and a cold Bud. Also there must be someone on the ground to distract the police,kind of like a rodeo clown. Bubba,you'd be perfect for that job. Also,Bubba,have you checked out Sky's blog? I've posted a couple of videos there that I thought might be a little too "edgy" for here. I think you'll find a couple of them to be quite amusing.

CommentsWent up north of San Fran to see a friend who 'ain't" doing so well. Life happens. Stopped to see Artie Ward on the way home. The last time we conversed was in July of "81" on Newport Beach, CA.. (see photo in Gallery- #3?)I saw him for a brief brief at The Reunion. We broke bread and wine together with his wife, daughter and friend. Artie and I went to the gym for a quick, but hard workout. We got all pumped up. I suggested we go kick some ass. Dorchester style (i.e. ten on one) We drove over to the next town, San Jose and found some hanger-ons from the Hell's Angels original notorious Rolling Stones concert 'peacekeepers'. We kicked their ass. Then ran, actually drove, away very fast.(all right, I confess I got carried away a bit with that one) Artie's doing well. We'll try and hook up again in Santa Cruz. Halfway point for both of us. I always liked Artie. My older brother's mate from youth. But you know how it goes, once you hit 18, or, 21, male or female, everything is fairgame and age isn't an issue anymore. I came home for a sister's wedding a few years ago in March. Too tanned from the South Pacific for March New England- t'was difficult to keep a low profile. The first kid I meet at the reception was one of my late father's closest friends. He's my age. I missed the irony of the situation and said I was at a good friend's home on an island in the SPacific "He's my father's age." This kid said to me, "Hey Gerard, your father is one of my closest friends." Like, what's the # got to do with anything? Mr. Nigel, on more than one occasion you've related me/ my name with subject matter I'm rather ignorant on. See, I don't watch TV. The Supreme Court (i.e. public opinion) would call me a loser. I'm clueless with the web pages. I'll trust that your allusions are in good taste. Pat, I talked with Artie about a # of things. He says good things about you. Including your one of the original Parksmen. Dude, I find that prestigious. No BS. I should be home in the Commonwealth next month for about a fortnight, maybe we can meet for a beer at the Erie Pub. They make good BLT's-throw a chuck of meat in it and you've got a Club Sandwhich. The owner and I have some good friends in common. Pat, one more thing/ Please. "Watch my back". I don't have enough time to monitor postings. Let me know if any fruitcakes slander my name. I've got some potent friends who can make Dino's and Red's vocation look like playing house. Another words, they aren't the only ones who can track someone's venue-w/ all respect gentlemen. W/ all respect. Sort of like: "you build a better mouse trap, the mouse gets keener."

CommentsDear Pat M.: I realize that your query was directed at Detective McLean so please forgive me in advance for putting my 37 cents in without being asked. If you are seriously considering a new computer and would also like to have a very rewarding and practically worry free experience please consider a trip to your nearest Apple store and plan to spend at least an hour there. No matter what product you choose from Apple it will be simple and easy to make the change from a PC and you will find right away that the operating system is ridiculously easy to use because it is for the most part a completely intuitive system. In addition to that, the staff at the store will answer any and all questions and demonstrate the entire system to you before you decide. You can even spend time in the store trying out the different models first. Then you can also sign up, after purchase, for their program that allows you a once a week visit (for a year) for an hour each visit, with their tech people to learn any aspect of the software. I could go on and on but you get the idea. I used PC's for almost 20 years and got very tired of the crashing systems and virus prone environment. I've been using Apple for the past 10 years and could never imagine going back to a PC. Now undoubtedly Officer McLean is a Guru on these matters and will advise you well, however, I couldn't help but mention this to you also. Finally, there is a columnist named Walter Mossberg, actually a group of 3 persons, of which Mr. Mossberg is the leader, that write for the Wall Street Journal on technology. He also has his own website that is updated regularly. In fact his group is called "All Things Digital" and you can download it as a bookmark, I think that's the right way to say it, anyway, every week he and his staff review new products in the tech field and personally I never buy any new electronic item unless this man has written about it. You can access his archive online to read about whatever new item you're looking for information on. If you do visit the Apple store and you have small children be sure to bring them because they have a group of computers set up with a low table and these huge squishy black sponge ball chairs for the kids to use.

CommentsSorry G-Fel. When it comes to the matter of taste I make no guarantees. In the immortal words of Larry Flynt,"The only thing I'm guilty of IS bad taste." I can,however,assure you that no harm or insult is intended by any of my posts. I'm strictly going for laughs here. Me and Bubba are going to grab a couple of parachutes,fly down to Rio and do a Jump for Jesus over the Christ statue. He'll be landing on the right arm,me on the left. Like two giant pigeons. You're welcome to join us if you like. You see,you're not the only one around here with a sense of adventure.

First about Nancy Sinatra circa 1966,then about Debbie Harry circa 1979,then about the two of them together....Jell-O wrestling.Debbie wins.Case closed.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auEzGWBGAmE

CommentsCould not agree with you more, Dr. Tufnel, but what else is new? You could have thrown in Marianne Faithful and Debbie would still have won it hands down. There have been precious few women in entertainment or public life that have been quite that hot. Michelle Pfeiffer is one. She had the looks but not quite the DangerGirl vibe of Ms. Harry. I'm sure Ms. Harry scorched many a man's retinas.

CommentsI like Janeane Garafalo also, but I think she made a bad career move a few years ago. She took a part in a movie that was destined to go down as an American Cinema Classic, starring one of the greatest actors ever to appear on the silver screen. She was totally outclassed and I think it took her years to get over it. I'm talking about "Copland" starring the God of Screen himself. One name "STALLONE". Any comments? P.S. I put this on the RP sight instead of Sky's because in work I have a problem getting on Sky's. Something to do with aluminum cans and newspaper interfering with Sky's sight vibe. Nigel once said "if I was to naked jello wrestle with one man, it would be Stallone". I myself would take Hasslehof.

CommentsAround this time a year ago a friend of mine from the old neighborhood passed away. Someone read about it here and told me.That's how I found out about this site. I read that Jimmy Mullee played for the Ugly 9 but that would have been before I knew him. I'm having a real hard time picturing him playing softball without laughing.The last time I hung out with him a couple of years ago I kicked his ass in horseshoes. Jimmy was one of the funniest guys I've ever known but you couldn't take him anywhere much farther than his parents' backyard because once he started feeling good he'd start singing "Ticket To Ride" at the top of his lungs. And so Jim,I'm assuming that was your favorite song and I'm sending this one out to you,but I still say the Stones were better....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsXta-92KUI

CommentsPat, high probability I'll be in the Commie 1st week in May for about two weeks. As much as I'd like to brag/boast/ indulge in some creative writing pertaing to my sporting ability, I'd kid no one. Artie Ward was a little flabbergasted when I said I never even jumped off the Malibu Bridge. Spit over the rail is the best I can broach. I fear at this time he already submitted my name to The Committee on account of that and I may be ostrasized from any alumni MHH. Every neighborhood in the world around has that one kid who's the coolest, best looking, best athlete, most admired by the opposite sex, feared-but respected-by the same sex, etc.. No, not me. (maybe in my dreams) I was always the kid last to make the team, first to be accused of 'throwing' the game, or worst, aiding and abbetting the opposition. Get the picture? I do make an awesome pizza (Hey,?'s that to do with anything?). Second best in the world! Anyhow, if this stint/ game is between May 8th and 19th, I'm in. Just don't put to much $ on aptitude. Still in fighting shape, but mostly in the privacy of my own home and front of a mirror-I've never lost a fight withmyself. I'm tossing my hat in from the W. Coast. I'll see if I have any influence with A-girl.

CommentsO.K. Dr. Watson here....is Pat M. the same as Bubba? Seriously? Sadly, none of us will live long enough to see things repaired after the horrific and unconscionable damage that has been done by this present administration. Also, I do not flirt with persons that are spoken for. Big No-No. And I wouldn't last 10 minutes on a double date with G-Fel. I'd want to unbraid his hair and that would most likely get me into trouble. Understandably so. Besides I'll be busy refilling the Gatorade kegs, manning the oxygen tanks and dusting off home base. As soon as Pat-Bub-Mo gives me the job. And really PBM, where do I mail the check for all of the compliments you've been handing out? I don't gamble but $500 says you most assuredly have me confused with someone else. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick though. Dreaming is free last I checked. Made my day. LaDeeDooDumbleDee! Heh! Brainstorm...can one team be called The MalloCups and the other The Whippets? Or do the names have to connote something fierce and manly? If that's the case then never mind.

She then offered to buy me a Rolex. I don't wear watches so I declined on that note too. Name? How'z about D.O.G.S.? Disciples of Gerard Shea. Don't worry about any connotations this may induce. I'll think of something. I'm going for a hike right now. I'm being taken to Club 19 tonight and do plan on being hungry. Truth be told, when I was looking for someone to braid my hair last fall in MHH area, I went to five before I found a really cool Jamaican woman to do it. Her salon is right where Adams and Dot Ave connect. I said I'd be back some day.

You really should post more often,especially if you're going to be dishing out those kind of compliments. My mom was at St. Peter's in the '50s too,but just barely(class of 1950). She's always assured me that everything back then was just like the way it was in "Leave It To Beaver":No drugs,no violence,no alcohol 'til 21,no sex 'til marriage,etc. I've always suspected that she was full of sh** and now,thanks to you I know I was right. I thought about showing her your post but on second thought I think I'll just let her go on believing her little fantasy.Please stay in touch.

CommentsCharles Barkley was one of the greatest fowards to ever play the game. I think he's 6'6" and he out boarded every one in the league. Pat Morehouse played shortstop for the U-9 and by his own admission was one of the worst SS's in the league. But I was also the best player on the team, by my own admission. We had no one else to fill the slot. Anyway I kept the ball in front of me. I took a lot of balls to the head. I don't want to hear any remarks about balls to the head. My pick for best shortstop in the league was Eddie Connelly. He would stand five-seven steps into left field and still throw me out and I wasn't that slow. What an arm. For pure acrobatic plays Keven Murphy was fun to watch. Quiz time: What wa Charlse Barkley's nickname in college and while were at it what college? One more, what college did Daryl Dawkins attend?

CommentsTom D: Two questions. Does your family own a playground in the North End? I was there for dinner last night and walked past DeFilippo Playground, on Prince Street, I think. Thought of you, wondered if it was your family. It's beautiful. A little oasis amongst all the tall buildings. Second, are you planning to be at PatM's softball game?

CommentsHi Tom, yes, if all goes as I intend I will be there with many cases of beverages, and food of some sort, as soon as PatMBub gives a more definitive picture of what's happening and how he envisions this thing. I do get nauseous at the sight of pom-poms however, so maybe I'll bring a few megaphones. What are the team names

Tom D.. You were on my short list of people I meant to say hello too last Fall on account of a few correspondents. I hope you are well. Some day maybe we'll say hello, and perhaps, you might even share with me the secret(s)? of a good chocolate' shake. There's a cool diner (Santa Cruz Diner) in Santa Cruz where the waitress are very (genuinely) friendly-and not a strain on the eyes- that I stop at once a month for breakfast with a Chocolate' shake. Not a bad way to start the day. Big Sur marathon tomorrow. I won't be running, watching, or recognizing. I'll be at the beach.

Hey G-fel I saw you there and was going to say hi but as you know soon as we turned around there was another old face from the past. As for the shake no problem I still make them for the family-- ELEPHANT HOUSE--- style. Hey Sky sorry about the pom-poms but look forward to seeing you there.
Hey Bubba any more updates I'm wrapping the glove up in oil and putting it under the mattress to loosen it up. Let me know. Still able to play short and the hot spot.

CommentsThere wasn't a whole heck of a lot going on here yesterday. That's Ok because it gave me time to think. I've been thinking that this probably isn't the first time that the Adelphia,now known as D-Bar,has catered to the alternative lifestyle crowd. I can recall,back in the 80's when it was a country-western bar.There was a group of guys who used to show up nearly every night dressed as cowboys. You could tell they weren't real cowboys because they were fabulous dancers and they didn't smell like horsesh%t. One of them,I believe he was their leader,had an uncanny resemblance to a young Jon Voight(Midnight Cowboy,not Deliverance). He was gorgeous. In the blink of an eye it was all over. Nobody knows where they came from or where they went. They just sort of rode off into the sunset.....in Jon Voight's car....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZejTwjazTJs

CommentsI vaguely recall that episode. It ended when the Adelphia sponsered the "Gayest Cowboy in Boston" contest. Well they advertised and some "Sodbusters" from the Napolian, Ramrod, and Jauques got wind of it and crashed the party. It ended up being one slap tiff. One of the boys hooked up with the Village People and a couple others started thier own Dude Ranch in Arizona called "Bare Backs and Chaps". G-Fel mentioned it before. But your right it happened so fast the Adelphia was never the same.

Comments"Gayest Cowboy In Boston???" did I miss something? I'm almost inclined to ask what the prizes were/are. But like our esteemed and honorable Mr. Bubba 'Gump?' and being hit on the head multiple times by balls, I don't want to induce any derogatory comments,but, if past postings are any indicatorr, which they are, it probably will. The ranch I worked on was an actual cattle ranch that hosted guests (i.e. "Dudes") in the summer. Visualize your interpretation of the Garden of Eden and that location,location, location in Montana comes real close. Nice. I was there for the flyfishing, not the riding. Though, in the early mornings I'd go up the patures with a few other wranglers to coral the horses. My own experience with the Cowboy culture is that cowboys (real cowboys) are as tough as pine knots. I've never been to the Kentucky Derby- though there is a family there that are in my innermost circle of friends. Just the Melbourne Cup. Don't let anyone kid you, the race ain't about testasterone and steeds. Nope! It's about hats. I'm not authourized to say this, but it is; "It's all about hats". Take a look at the nearest lamp shade in your home. Or your mate's home. It was probably sported as a hat at one of the Cups. No way!!! Yup, it was probably a hat at one time. I wouldn't rule out the globes on some of the overhead lights in your home. Think I'm kidding, watch how much attention hats get tomorrow. And you thought it was about $ and culture. NEW PARAGRAPH :) I'm cooking pizza down the road tonight. Gerard Style- that means it is going to be good. Me, and three 'girls'. An Italiano. A Mid-westerner. And a Russian. Just pizza and wine. And guest of honor is the Black Russian. I'll be personally escorting her. My three friends (one's husband is out of town) insist I don't come without the Black Russian. I've been cultivating her for several days. The Black Russian is a bread I've perfected. Instead of H20, I use Guiness Stout. Total of 15 ingrediants. The type of bread that shocks children-especially if they grew up on Wonder Bread- it's too dark for PB&J. Goes great with smoked Salmon, gourmet cheese, good company, good sunset, some laughter and converstaion, and to quote my all time favorite poet/artist of European genes Mr. Van Morrison, 'and shivers up the back of the neck'- Hynford Street. In my next postings, if I'm not ostracized, is going to be why I believe this Presidential Campaign has been nothing other than Saturday morning wrestling. That is, a dress rehearsal. I've been telling people that Mr. Al Gore is going to be the next President and have been getting feedback from indifference, to laughter-at myself- to actual outrage. I've already got two wagers, each equalling $1K, that he will. I don't hope to win these wagers. Hope implies chance/fate. No, I expect to reap the rewards. Expect.

CommentsOK. I'm giving everyone my unconditional approval to start posting again. Pah-leez, nothing political or 'sensitive'. And please don't ask me to define what 'sensitive' is. Truth is, I don't know. I received a card filled with rose petals from my friend thanking me for a good evening. So, what's Pizza Regina, Hi-Fi, Joespehs' Doughnuts and my bread dough have in common? Consistancy. Yup, I said "Josephs'. Still on Bowdoiin Steet. Still making the same doughnut recipe. Yeast and Cake Dougnuts. The venue is where Gerry's Candy store use to be (at least, it was two years ago, last time I checked)and has a different name. Regina and Hi-Fi still make a good pizza too. Same recipe/ formula at Gerry's. So, why ain't they as good as we remember? Not sure, but you can give ten people the same recipe and it will probably come out ten different ways. Some people are just more passionate about some things than others. Funny thing about the other night, I made Russian Rye for a Russian woman; and even the Eye-taliano commended my pizza laughing at the irony of an Irish (descent)guy showing and Italian how to make a pizza. OK, start posting again. p.s. If you don't have anything good and postive to say about me or my entries, don't feel bad. You're probably not the only one.

CommentsOk Bubba,I'll give it to you straight,well...sort of. I believe it was Sigmund Freud who once said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and sometimes a Mallo Cup is just a Mallo Cup". There is no secret code. What made the Mighty Mallo so popular was that it was,and still is,the best "munchie" food ever invented. The perfect snack for after you've been,shall we say,"sittin' downtown in a railway station". Just ask Gail and Dale,Cheech and Chong,the Mole or even G-Fel,who has a "special" Mallo/brownie recipe that is out of this world. ....... In other matters,I too find it odd that a person would complain about lack of sunshine for the entire winter and then take off for the bowels of Utah at the first sign of spring. I wouldn't worry too much about "Batgirl",though. I'm pretty sure she can take care of herself. Maybe when she gets back she can explain to us the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite. Never could figure that one out. .... Gail and Dale split on the "Red vs. Gold" question. She went with the Red while he reached for the Gold,which means I MUST continue with my research. Time to pop open my mid-morning Mallo and roooooooooooooll another one .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5xl9EiGMwE

CommentsJust for the record. I don't lift anything heavier than a pen- to sign check$. Having said that, I consider softball, lawn darts, bowling, bocci, etc., 'heavy lifting'. I prefer the fine art of a flourishing income based on Opium. Other People's Money. I appreciate the honorable address of Gman vs. G fel. "G-Fell" sounds like a slighted candidate for the Village People who didn't make the shortlist. I had to ask my mother the other night how to get to Savin Hill ballpark. Some mates had a game there and afterwards we went to the Banshee for draft beer. Nice. A quartet of Irish musicians, atmosphere, conversation(s)beer, an overwhelming scent of curry (in an Irish joint!?). I stopped on the way home at Hi-Fi for a slice. I was asked at the door for a donation to support something or another from a character who may have been the village idiot. Had the scent of alcohol hadn't been so keen, I may have fell for it. My tour of duty is just about up here. I'm suppose to be in two different countries in the EU w/ two different people in two weeks. No Problem. The problem is they don't know about each other and they both asked me to escort them both ways. Even I have a hard time being in two places at once. Opium. No chaps, but I still have my lace-up ropers. Kickass wrangler boots. Yes, spurs too. Oh, one more suggestions on theme for a reunion, no heavy lifting, etc.. Opera. We can all play the roles denied to us in life. gshea

CommentsStill enjoying reading the posts, however, I have noticed some disturbing entries recently posted and how disappointing that is. How did these even get posted? It says in red print right above where I am typing this to be respectful of others...well, let me tell you, the good nuns from St. Peter's would be dropping like flies over these obnoxious junk emails. Hopefully, they are over and done with.
On a lighter note, I noticed the mention of half ball...my brothers and their friends played half ball over and over. One of our mop or broom sticks became the "bat" and the pimpled ball was cut in half and the boys must have had fun, but it was more then just a fun game to them...they played hard against the side of the building facing Hamilton St. right accross from the Rump and Round. We lived at 241 Bowdoin St. just around the corner.
Nigel, I have been viewing the music that you give links to and you are one clever feller! You can find a song for anything! I used to live for the record hops at BC High and have been known to do a mean dance myself...back in the day, of course!

CommentsSaturday I met my dear Dot friend of 50 years, Kathy (Coyne) Foley, (Robinson St) at the Myeloma walk on Carson Beach. Afterwards I took my daughter and her friend on a tour of the neighborhood. I discovered that I labeled my grandfather's shoe store address incorrectly on the picture. Posted above the door is 251 Bowdoin Street, not 152, jokes on me. I went into the building hoping to find the player piano that used to be upstairs to no avail. I enjoyed telling the kids stories of collecting bottle caps and trading them in for Mint Juleps. When Ring Dings first came out they were twice the size that they are now. I never tried the pickle gum they gave out at Ronan Park on the 4th of July but the Hoodsies were good. Janet Morehouse won the bicycle decorating contest a number of years in a row. Very talented kid. My circle of friends were not into the Eddies scene at all. We did love BC High dances. Everyone hoped to slow dance when "My Girl" was played. We then graduated to the Surf Nantasket. I loved drawing on the street with chalk. Bentham Rd had smoother asphalt than Draper St. We made skate boards by splitting our metal rollerskates in half and nailing them to boards. I remember stepping into the water at Malibu Beach up to my ankles and I couldn't see my feet anymore. What was that ooze that squished through our toes? It was fun to lay on our bellies in wet bathing suits on the sidewalk and burn ants with "punks". We called the brush that lined Ronan Park "the woods". Inspite of it all, my theme song became "We Got to Get Outa this Place" once I entered my late teens. Funny thing...my kids are drawn to the city like magnets. The pendulum swings again.

Comments July 4th, Summer of 64 Got up and couldn't wait to get to Ronan Park for the festivities. The Hoodsies , Pie eating contest etc...but most of all for the Big Game. The World Series featuring the always dangerous Pirates coached by the legendary Mr. Bob Hennessey and the upstart Twins who were coached by Mr Cronin. Leadind the Pirates was fireballer Stevie Reardon and my memory is not as sharp as it was , but I'm pretty sure Denny Kelleher, Jimmy Leonard and young Bob Hennessey were part of that team. On the mound for the Twins was crafty southpaw Timmy Cronin and along with the teammates I remember, Slugging first baseman (Me) Rick LaCivita Jimmy Booth, Tommy Condon , Tommy Coyne John Daly(RIP) Sorry if I forgot my other teammates. As I recall the Pirates were overwhelming favorites and It was a close game but the Twins prevailed and we got those coveted satin Jackets to show off the next school year at St. Peters. No hard feelings Reardon and if my memory serves me correctly my Dad took us out for an ice cream after the game. Anyway reading some of the past posts on this site was a great trip, but lately in my opinion for the most part is a bunch of drivvle . Hello to all

CommentsI remember playing in the league. I was on the Red Sox one year, I think Tim Sheehan was with me. We had a guy named Mole on that team. I don't know if He's the same one, there were so many Moles back then. Anyway, we used to put him in right field where he could'nt do much damage. I heard later he went on to become a "Calypso Singer". He had a Harry Belefonte thing going. He shared the stage with Louis Farrakhan once. Don't know what happened to him. I don't know if it's the same Mole posting now, the one that did that "Wigger Rap" with Otis Gargantua, but it might be.

No disrespect intended but I remember we had a big fight on Bowdoin St and it was a doozie.

CommentsI believe the year was 1964. My 1st year in little league. I was 6 years old and boy my parents excited to have their first child to play on a little league team! I was drafted on the Boston College Team since their were more teams in the CYO league than there were pro teams at that time so they named a couple of teams after local college teams (I think the other team was Holy Cross). Anyway, the team was coached by Stevie O'Malley and my other teammates were the Greg Maddux of the league and starting pitcher Jimmy Cahill, other players were Richie Kane, Billy Butts, Dennis Daly, Kevin O'Malley, Eugene O'Malley and a few more junior Saints that I can't recall. Well we went 0-8 to start the season and the 9th game we were so close to winning our 1st game except for an arguable bad call by the umpire that sent us to our 9th straight defeat. Well the only answer some of team had (guess who?) was to beat up the umpire, since it must of been his fault for us not winning our 1st game. Well a few days later I got ready in my baggy uniform to take the hike up the hill for our last game, only to be told by Omo my teammate that there will be no last game since our team was kicked out of the league. It was a memorable but a bummer of a 1st year. Which brought me to the pinnacle of my little league career by pitching in the World Series that 4th of July day my senior year of the league with teammates backing me up with the names, Stevie (Sully) O'Sullivan, Chuckie (I need a) Mann, Mike (Cos) Costello, and coached by the venerable Bill Kennedy. It wasn't all peaches and cream though as we got spanked by the Cubs who were coached by Eddie Sopel with an allstar cast of players by The likes of John (J.D) Donovan, Steve Silva, Bobby Dion, Bobby Falvey, Maurice ( Musha ) Fennessey and a few other good players that I can't recall on both teams. It was quite an experience, especially striking out J.D with the bases loaded with 2 outs. I guess there maybe a moral to this story, which is when the chips are falling keep your head held high and someday your day might just come. Though if your day still has not come by this time in you're life , there is still some hope. Maybe one day you just might hit the lottery.

CommentsO.K. PEOPLE, WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE ALLEGED UPCOMING SOFTBALL GAME?? My beverages are starting to De-Carbonate...there are infinite possibilities here...a bloopers video, local news coverage, we may be able to get the very kind former local folks at "Life Is Good" to make up special commemorative t-shirts, heck, it's EXERCISE!! Fresh Air. Gossip. Catching up. Those beverages, good food, juicy hamburgers with melted cheese dripping out from under the buns and the scent of freshly charred flesh in the air! There could be a helium balloon machine for the kids, and maybe some talented person to make those crazy little balloon animals. We could have background music, like the theme song from "2001, A Space Odyssey", OR the theme song from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Dr. Tufnel might graciously agree to DJ. (If we can locate him in time, as it appears he is on a bit of a hiatus). Each team picks their favorite tune for when they are up at bat and Presto, instant atmosphere! Hello? Anyone out there?

CommentsDonna, thats what makes THE WEBSITE so fantastic, we can reminisce about the good times and not so good times and pay tribute to lost family and friends like it was yesterday. The stories I hope just keep on coming. Example: Mike and all us guys use to go monster camping at the Blue Hills at least once if not twice a year but always April vacation because that was when the streams would be running full. The reason I call it monster camping is because at the minimum there would be was 40-50 of us and we would just pick a spot in the hills, walk maybe a 1/4 mile into the woods, set up camp and park our cars at Houghtons Pond so the cops wouldn't know we were there and settle down for the weekend and have the woods for ourselves. Now we had the real campers like Kevin (Elrod) Palmer, Paul (Jag) Callahan, Brian Palmer, Joe McCarthy, and the wanna be's to the likes of Donald (Dribs) Ryan and Mike (Hypo) Feeney. We also had the non campers, Steve (Sully) O'Sullivan who would have to hike over the lookout tower on the other side of the hills to HoJo's just to take a dump. Matty (Mudcat) McDonagh, you did't know if he was camping or hanging out on a corner somewhere over in Southie. But the one thing I always will remember was your brother and Paul (Whisper) Sartori showing up for the weekend both with 3/4 length leather jackets, Rat shoes and polyester pants trudging through the woods with nothing but the clothes on their backs and case of beer under there arms. But troopers they were, roughing it out and going home 3 days later just the way they showed up minus the Schlitz. Finally our Utopia was put into exile after abot 4 years when a Met on horseback caught Brian (Giraffo) O'Sullivan chopping down a live tree with his trusty axe in hand. The Met asked him what he was doing, what Brian told him was that he needed fire wood, which the officer ripped him a new one explaining that live wood does not burn. Giraffo led the Met to our campsite where he could not believe what he was seeing, 15 to 20 tents, 4 to 5 campfires, 40 to 50 kids drunk as skunks or high as kites with hundreds of beer cans strewn througout the woods saying to each other ooh ooh. Well I guess he thought he couldn't take us all to jail or call for backup and chase 40 kids thru the woods, so he just told us he would be back in an hour and the campsite better be clean. You never seen so many of us dig the largest and deepest hole that by my estimate fitted a thousand beer cans that we buried, and we burnt all the trash in our 5 campfires. The Met came back an hour or so later and was so impressed he let us stay another night and said something to the affect when you guys leave here try to keep a low profile. Right. Well those were the days my friend we'd thought they never end, but they did. I guess this is why we owe so much to the web managers and the reunion organizers so these memories don't fade away. Hi Robbie Sullivan (our Saviour) Hey Bubba, There's plenty of cute chicks at these cock fights, but I think they only go just to see there dads and brothers fight.

CommentsLet's get this softball game together. We need to get a field that's close enough to get everyone together. I cab call around to some DCR fields to check for availability. There are afew t-shirt places around. Are there any ex Holiday Inn players willing to play? Boo Daly, Kevin Casey, Jim Hunt? Let's do it.

CommentsTom, another great story! Thanks for the laugh, I could so totally picture you guys "camping", and I'm not surprised that Mike showed up in his leather coat, that was his look for that era! I do love this web-site, I try to check it every couple of days to see what other funny old stories people will post.
