The New York Giants Nostalgia Society was scheduled to meet last Thursday in the Bronx but the meeting was post-poned on the count of the World Serious. Bill Kent, the Grand Pooh Bah of the club, sent out the following:
Howdy, folks!
Due to circumstances beyond our control (the Yankees losing yesterday) we are changing the date of the meeting. I discussed it with the speaker, Allen Barra, and he will not be available in case of a prolonging of the series. Likewise some of the members.
So, we managed to switch the date to the following Thursday, Nov. 12th. Barra has agreed with this, likewise the church.
Sorry for this. Now we have another reason to hate the Yankees.
hehe.. that's pretty frickin funny.
Poor bastards. I hope at least they're Mets fans, otherwise they're just living a miserable baseball experience. heh. After all, seems like the Mets built their new stadium in homage to the NY baseball Giants and Bklyn Dodgers, moreso than the Mets own history.
Also, I'm kinda surprised that the cover of the '55 Giants' Yearbook didn't depict Willy Mays' 1954 WS catch. WTF?
There should be a 2009 New York Giants Nostalgia Society so folks can gather somewhere and reminisce about the last time our Big Blue won a game.
[2] for realz.
I only caught the tail end of yesterday's game. Did the defense leave early to beat traffic or what?
At least I won't have to worry about the Giants being in the playoffs this year.
I love Willard Mullins' artwork, and it's a shame that there are no collections that exist.
