This phrase is usually meant to indicate that "smart" people think alike, but in the case of Vod & Chad, it means that it takes both of us to think of anything...and isn't that great that we can think at all?
I was going to write today to mention a book that was reviewed in the NY paper called "The Baseball Codes, Beanballs, Sign Stealing and Bench-Clearing Brawls: The Unwritten Rules of America's Pastime," by Jason Turbow with Michael Duca. It discusses the so-called 'rules of etiquette' in baseball. It includes such stories as:
Yankee great, Lou Gehrig played for 2130 consecutive games, a record that stood for 56 years. But he was helped along the way when he was bed-ridden with the flu but luckily General Manager Ed Barrow called a rainout that day...Only there was no rain.
Read about Luis Tiant appearing on the field clad only in a towel (but smoking a cigar), Nolan Ryan's "Noogie Patrol" and Bob Gibson in the middle of a beanball war...in an old-timer's game.
I can hardly wait for Annie-O to read it to me.
