“Welcome to the HSL…”

Dress appropriately… as in layers - despite this being the first full day of winter here, the advice is always in season, given the reasons: one, being that you can tear off one jersey when we get ripped off again, the other being no need to over dress when walking from one stadium to the other ball park, given how they are strategically situated (as in not a far cry off)…whereas might want to at least carry a scarf when traversing  to the LCA: "about .8 miles...out on Woodward Avenue🎜" -- a place where the hotter teams are playing on ice or on alternate nights, a sheet that’s been boarded over (see the multi-layered meaning here?) and where, on the one hand a strong goaltender is called for whereas in the other the goal is to not get called for “goaltending” (a condition that occasionally occurs if you’re caught swatting away shots, while above the net😳)…

Weather or not…which, back at the scene of the grime (a cross between gridiron and crime) we around here, find ourselves having to put it in the back burner again, as “put it on simmer until summer” when the other team will be, once again, “roaring to go…” 

"Welcome back, to the Hot Stove League..." Where stadium blankets are never called for, as it's always warm and toasty in the comfort of your own den, while talking baseball over the airwaves. Along with the Lions' lament, "smells like burnt toast all right!" 😠

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
