Chucky Baby

Little known baseball factoid: that infamous manager known far and wide as having a body far and wide, and managed the Pittsburgh Pirates to a world championship on the strength and abiltiy of Dave Parker to outrun duracells in the outfield, Chuck Tanner, is credited with having hit an Illiad, or homer, to those less educated than me, on his first pitch. What? Don't believe moi? Check out this, you mentally incompetent, imbeciles:

Was there a point to that word dump? What's with the Duracells? Chuck Tanner wasn't fat. Isn't he Barry Bonds godfather? Or are they brother and sister? Actually, I think you have him confused with Biff Tanner.

Apparently, you are not accumstomed to artistic prose. Don't you recall towards the tail end of the Pirates dynasty that attendance began to decline, and the fans that did make it to 3 rivers stadium ended up throwing batteries at their heroes. I seemed to recall that one just missed Dave Parker in right field.

By the way, I think you are confusing Biff Tanner with Biff Pocoroba. You probably don't even remember what happened to Bob Horner, otherwise know as Jack Sprat.

No, you're thinking of Glenn Hubbard. I think Chuck Tanner was his mother. I've known Glenn since nursery school when we used to rhyme together. With Paul Simon, as I recall. He went by Al then; and I don't mean Monchak.

I think you actually mean Glenn Beckert who later left to form the rock band Beck short after he formulated the non infamous brew entitled Becks. Bet you can't guess his wife's name.

Glenn Beckert married Glen Close?!!!!

MrHuge2U said...

Close. Glen Campbell who later became famous for those delicious soups.

Nathan Kinzel said...

You know, Glen Campbell is rather thin these days. I remember long ago when he was kind of chunky.

MrHuge2U said...

Put a fork in him, he's done.

Nathan Kinzel said...

Oh mama, that was a good one! Too bad I let you McNab it from me.
