After each major sporting event, HHR takes a look at how it is portrayed in news print in some of the nation's leading dailies. Part out of curiosity, and part to preserve the dying medium.

At least Barry Bonds wasn't on the team. Makes them much more palatable.

Rep. Frank Pallone Hates America Vis-à-Vis Baseball

There is nothing more American than baseball.

With the exception of tobacco - the cash crop that helped build this great Republic.

Limousine liberal Frank Pallone wants to piss on individual rights by having the fine plant banned from the World Series.

Reports The Hill's Jordan Fabian:

With the World Series set to begin Wednesday night, a New Jersey congressman wants the participating teams to give chewing tobacco the boot from their dugouts.

Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D) called on the Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants to eschew their use of smokeless tobacco during the Fall Classic, saying it sets a bad example for kids.

If you dig below the surface, you realize this is not, in fact, about the kids, but rather a personal crusade against America's tobacco farmers and Josh Hamilton, whose Godly power is commonly known to be derived from the Herculean sized pinch in his bottom lip.

Preserving History: #27

After each major sporting event, HHR takes a look at how it is portrayed in news print in some of the nation's leading dailies. Part out of curiosity, and part to preserve the dying medium.

The Yankees have a long, storied history. Yesterday, they celebrated their 27th world championship - the most of any franchise in any sport. Granted, the team has been around for a century and won the first few championships against the likes of the Reading Cobblers and the Newark Haberdashers. But that's beside the point.

After having signed the top three available free agents this past season, and with a payroll $63 million higher than the next franchise, the Yankees finally accomplished what they set out to do back in spring - having bought the most expensive championship in baseball history. Bravo!

Esquire: Why Is Pedro Martinez Smiling?

Monika Graff/UPI via Newscom

"However, the wry smile he cracked in the face of substantial booing from the crowd at Steinbrenner's House of Fiscal Excess was worth every moment of the six solid innings that he pitched. That smile was a coda. Someone should have talked about it more."

Presidential Throwbacks

Yesterday, the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers followed the tradition of championship sports teams meeting with the President of the United States.

Fat Willard raises an interesting question as he was perusing ceremony pictures, "If you serve 8 years you are looking at 32 jerseys JUST from NFL/MLB not counting basketball NBA/college/womens, etc. What happens to the jerseys the Pres gets from each team?"

Anyone? Bueller?

I would love to get my hands on one of Barry's, Bush's or any other President's for that matter. Ford, being a former UofM star, would be solid. Did they do that way back in the 70's?



This doesn't include jerseys POTUS might pick up along the campaign trail...
