It is always good to get the facts “ beyond the facts” with an “ Oh I did not know that” energy.
Case in point:
Most know DiMaggio had a 56 game hitting streak. But once it ended he immediately went on a 17 game hitting streak.
72 out of 73. More amazing huh?

Remembering my all-time music idol on this, the 24th anniversary of his passing.
"...I look from the wings
At the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
'Cause I'm sitting here
Doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps..."🎶

I can name these two Cap'n Crunch characters from back in the day.......Carlyle and Dave.
My grandkids look at me oddly while their parents beg me not to feed them Cap'n Crunch.
But the truth is...I am old...
(And to quote Maxwell Smart..."And loving it!"
