Heh.
This's been on my mind for a while, and I thought it'd fade away, but it hasn't.
Are any other Fans who remember the Roger Moret & Randy Vataha days freaked out by this??
When we traded Roger Moret ~ a Binky of mine, back in 1975 ~ for the bespectacled Atlanta SouthPaw Reliever, I wasn't too pleased...But I recognized that House could potentially fulfill a strong and important Role for us, one that'd been left absent since those idiotic Scum had dumped Sparky Lyle for Danny #$%&ing CATER, 4 Years earlier...a move that cost us 4 ~ FOUR ~ World Series Championships: 1972. 1975. 1977. 1978.
Of course: Tom House was a Disaster for us.
Mind you: That may well've been because most Managers then ~ and NOW ~ have NO idea how to walk the line between keeping Pitchers Fresh without burning them out: It ain't complicated.
Even so, and again: Tom House was a Disaster for us.
So to read ~ 37 Years later ~ that Tom House ~ that Tom House, he of the mediocre Career including a couple of mediocre Years for us as BaseBall Pitcher...is an integral part of a vital Regeneration of none other that Tom Freaking Brady...is a bit surreal.
It just takes me back to where my Head was in 1976...and how even I, with my Cosmic Ways, had difficulty imagining the World that New EngLand Sports has been, ere the last dozen Years, with Tom Brady being at the very Heart of this stunning, shocking, revolutionary Change: New EngLand surging to the Apex of the Sporting World!!
To juxtapose 1976, and the day when I actually remember where I was when I heard of the Roger Moret ~ Tom House trade...with what began to transpire a full Quarter Century later, and has now been 37 Years...is a Trip.
Frankly, I freaking love it!! :rocker:
