    #LetsGoSwitzerlandThe Man Who Does Not Read Has No Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read. The biggest obstacle to progress is a habit of “buying what we want and begging for what we need.”You get the Freedom you fight for and get the Oppression you deserve.

    He was a blast to watch. Electric stuff. Actually lead the league in walks and HBP's in 3 seasons while striking out just about everyone else. Unhittable at times He had a great 5 year stretch before a career ending injury.

    I didn't know he died of COVID complications

    RIP JR

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
