The Burger King I work at which was owned by Burger King coporation
was just sold to a franchise called 755 Restaurant corporation. Today
there was a letter on the bukiton board from the CEO welcoming us to
the new company. The CEO is Hank Araron. He said he will be in to meet
with us soon. I will tell him about 'Lost Weekend' and may be he will
charter a jet for him and Foxie and I to fly out to Vegas.If Hank
Aaron shows up I bet even Deny in Mass, David Berman, Cam, Cyber Hog
and EE will become Braves fans! Back in 1966 when I went to my fist
MLB game he was on the Braves team. The Braves were playing the Mets
and Braves third Baseman Eddie Mathews got hit by a pich in the foot.
The umpire did not believe the pitch hit him so Eddie Mathews took off
his shoe and showed the ump the bruse on his foot. The ump gave
Mathews first base. Af few years later my dad and I were at a game and
my dad got a foul ball hit by Aaron. I still have that ball today but
it is in the same drawer with another foul ball I got at another
Braves game and I don't know which one was hit by Aaron. BTW, Hank
Aaron is still the MLB home run king because he did not cheat and use
steroids! Ronald Emerson. Is it June yet?

Ronald when Hank Aaron hears your story about Eddie Mathews you will
be a shoe in to be Vice President of the company! Foxie Emerson.

Ha! My first ever baseball game was at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh
Pirates vs Braves and, you guessed it, Hank Aaron. I don't remember
anyone taking their shoes off though...

I remember a long time ago they were tying the Oh Henry candy bar to
Hank Aaron even though it was named after the Shakespeare play, just
like the Baby Ruth candy bar was tied to Babe Ruth even thought it was
really named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg. All that aside it would be
really cool if you got Oh Henry candy bars as they go very well with
Whoppers and are just as healthy. As a matter of fact, I'm on a
Whopper Oh Henry diet as of now. Hank Aaron hits another home run! Oh
Henry! It's lame I know, but it doesn't change that fact that Hank
Aaron, was a great baseball player and Oh Henry is a tasty and
nutritious candy bar. Anyways, congratulations!

Here's how the Oh Henry! candy bar really got it's name:

And you're right, it is a tasty & nutritious candy bar.....and Henry Aaron
is still the MLB career homerun king, IMHO.

I have only been to one major league game in my life...
My then girlfriend and I were going to Disneyland and didn't have anything
to do afterwards...
The baseball stadium was very close and we watched the Seattle Mariners take
on the Angels.
Both teams were out of playoff contention and we watched Ken Griffey Jr. hit
a home run...
We then watched Ken Griffey Sr. hit a home run and complete the back to back
home runs by son and Father .... I hope he tipped the waitress.

That's just Nestlé’s disinformation propaganda.

Okay... replace Sr. with Jr. and vice/versa .... I guess it was baby bear
that got the nice fastball down the pipe with ice cream on top.

My only major league baseball game was boring as hell. It was 28 tears
ago at Yankee Stafium, and the only thong interesting about it was some
kind of kerfuffle in the dugout. The papers called it the pine tar game.
