Question #3 - Who dubbed Ted Williams "The Splendid Spitter"? Teddy Ballgame is my favorite. Of course Ted was known by other nicknames too, such as "The kid", "The Thumper" ... who knows how many more. Teddy Ballgame is my favorite by far!

Biblio Bibuli Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Posted December 11, 2006 Why the thread on Ted Williams, you ask? OK, I'll tell you. You see, the other day I got a message from da man: .... "I'm getting complaints from Teddy about your mentioning him in your posts. Please do not mention Teddy Ballgame in your posts anymore. Thanks Greg Admin" I immediately wrote back: .... "Dear Sirs!!! Teddy Ballgame hasn't posted on the Forum for close to 5 months (140 days to be exact), but I still have to mind his sensibilities ? ............ Do we have a cadre of other folks with "listening handles" who are lurking around, unbeknownst to us, and whose tender egos we must also stroke? ............ Is Bin Laden a lurker? Fidel Castro in his hospital bed? ........ Please provide a list of people WHO DON'T POST HERE whom we must bear in mind when on the forum. ......... Thanks in advance for this list. ........ Merry Christmas to Holden!" But, worried about being banned on the spot, I guess, I never sent it. Today I've had plenty of wine, and you know what they say ... In vino veritas. Hi Greg!

sharkman Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 reported So what in Biblio's post was against the rules, or do you just not like him? This topic reminds me of the time I found Gerryhatrick had double posted in another forum by another name. It was a large post and word for word, so I started calling him by his other name occasionally. Although it wasn't against the rules, he lobbied Greg and somehow got Greg to take his side, who informed me not to use his other name. I thought the whole thing was silly, but when in Rome... Quote
