    I shouldn't have to explain to an adult that using someone else's REAL NAME on an industry-related bulletin board is a crappy and dishonest thing to do. But hey, you're just celebrating his fine career... by attaching your drivel and personal opinions to his name in a place that lots of unknowing people are likely to assume that the person using the real name actually belongs to the name.

    Actually, I know the Big Ragu really is Eddie Mekka so I have no problem with him using the name.

    You, on the other hand, faux-henry, are an ass.

    I thought the Big Ragu's real name was Carmine Ragusa and he was a crooner who had a thing going on with an uptight chick named Shirley.

    Beautiful Space - we just do not see near enough of your fine work.

    Any truth to rumor that Yogi was trying to sleep in next room and and was woken by noise.

    The combination of being woken and the flash back to the faitful day that Yankees blew a double header made Yogi so angry, he broke down door and grabbed harmonica and tossed it out window .

    ....as Marilyn dived naked out the window after it.

    Fortunately, there was a swimming pool below, where Esther Williams was practicing for an upcoming role in 'Don't Just Lay There, Swim Something!' co-starring Frank Sinatra. Marilyn landed on the surprised Esther, and became entangled in her fruit basket swim cap. Seven ballplayers watched the two beauties struggle underwater for ten minutes, before Marv Throneberry finally jumped in to save them. The story has never before been told, although Don Larson claimed to have pictures.

    And with this incident, Marvelous Marv earned his nickname. Because even though Marv couldn't hit a curveball, he was immortalized as a cult Hollywood legend for the maneuver he pioneered involving a a swimming pool, a harmonica, a swim cap, an inflatable rubber float and the beer bottle he was holding when he raced toward the pool and dove in. Years later, when he signed on as a spokesman for Lite Beer, a drunk Shelly Winters cryptically told a reporter, "There's nothing lite about one of those beer bottles in his hand." Milton Berle himself, famous for his considerable anatomy, once joked that the only time he saw disappointment in a woman's eyes was when he seduced Donna Reed the night after Marvelous Marv dumped her for Barbara Billingsley. "I violated four orifices and left her bleeding like a slab of unkosher meat," Uncle Milty said, "and she looked at me and yawned. I was so humiliated that I cut off my balls and started wearing a dress."

    Don Newcombe was passed out in a pool lounge chair after being out on an all night bender with Zim and a couple of hookers.
