Another good choice. Almost nobody preferred Ginger. Even Mrs.Howell got a few votes from World War I era guys.  , Mrs. Howell. You almost never hear someone bring up Skipper in this discussion. Poor skipper. |

Chinese take out and Lawson’s Super Sessions #2 here. Friday night is good. You have good taste, fatness. I love Lawson's Sip of Sunshine. I have a few of those in the fridge as well. After two manhattans I went with the lower ABV.  |

, Mrs. Howell. You almost never hear someone bring up Skipper in this discussion. Poor skipper. I do enjoy spotting Alan Hale in movies from his pre-Gilligan days, so at least there’s that. He was in quite a few westerns. I’ve seen him driving stage coaches and he even waddled his chunky middle up on a horse here and there. Come to think of it, he was the only one that didn’t take hundreds of wardrobe changes with him for that three hour cruise. He must have never dreamed they’d wind up so far off course. I wonder if Tom Hanks was on the other side of the island the whole time?... |

, Mrs. Howell. You almost never hear someone bring up Skipper in this discussion. Poor skipper. I think all of his energies were consumed by Gilligan. The Skipper did have an actual name according to the show's creator Sherwood Schwartz. It was Jonas Grumby, but I don't think it was ever used on the show. Thr Professor's name on the show was Roy Hinkley, and I do believe it was used a few times. Ginger Grant and Mary Ann Summers were called by their full fictional names a few times. Schwartz said that Gilligan never had a first name, but that if he needed one it would have been Willie. |

You might be confusing him with his father Alan Hale Sr., something I did for awhile trying to figure out how he could have been in all of those John Ford movies in the 30s and 40s and still look the same in the 60s. Alan Jr. was pretty much the spitting image of the old man. Remember when the Yankees had a player named Russell Johnson? That of course is the name of the actor who played The Proffesor. I don't think the player had that as his nickname. Although I don't suppose he was around long enough to generate a nickname. |

So far this season, the Yanks are 3-0 vs. the Red Sox, and have outscored them 17-4. Pretty convincing stuff for a small sample... But the Yankees only beat bad teams!  |

To answer my own question about grandfather- grandson mlb combos that were not three-generational (inspired by Mike Yastrzemski) -- it turns out there has been a smattering of them. In fact, one of them is pitching today against the Yankees. Rick Porcello's grandfather Sam Dente played for Boston and Washington between 1945-1953. Another such combo was Bob and Jim Spencer, the big Yankees first sacker back in the late 70s to early 80s. Hard to believe Jim died way back in 2002. There have only been two great-grandfather- great-grandson combos in MLB history. One involves a still-active player, Drew Pomeranz, whose GGF Garland Buckeye played in the 1920s. Unfortunately Garland died in 1975, before Drew was even born. The other such combo involved a player surnamed Bluejacket and Bill Wilkinson. I recall some cousin relationship that seemed way out of whack on the time scale. I am thinking it was Hal Newhouser and somebody much more recent. Jeff Bagwell? Have to look it up. Great research, inger! The 78 Yankees were the first team I remember watching, so sad that Jim Spencer left us so soon. |

Also, all this talk about 60's actresses and nobody mentions Julie Newmar as Catwoman? What the hell were y'all watching?

Remember this past offseason when there were rumors a Sanchez for Realmuto trade? The consensus was that the Yanks would have to give up a lot more than Sanchez to get Realmuto, right now I wouldn't trade Sanchez for him straight up, Gary's upside is that big. |

Sanchez's offensive upside is so much more than Realmuto. |

I was going to say that the research ch for me was completely effortless, since Pipps did it... (:🤪 |
