So is the name of Kelvin’s sister Nova or Nora?

Those jars probably inspired a bumper sticker I once saw.

Misspelled last name too. Kelvin Sandstorm!

Nolan Ryan was my favorite pitcher back in the day. I miss seeing pitchers who regularly pitched complete games.

I guess they were driven to try anything during that plague (one of many plagues in Europe over the centuries).

At least it gave the Brits something to do. They should try it again.

Dumb for not spellchecking the name & incredibly vain for changing his name.

Dumb for getting a tattoo.

Before the “germ theory” of infectious disease was discovered, people believed illness came from “bad air.” “Malaria” means “bad air.”

. . . Image, it has only been about 150 years, since “medical hand washing” was suggested to prevent infection thus saving lives. Sad. :’( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis

I think it’s really 8 father/son combos: Wills, Schofield, McRae, Griffey, Francona and Bonds make six. The final name is Alomar, but, since he struck out two of his sons, that should count as two more combos, shouldn’t it???

Does that mean struck out in the same game?

Danger!! when opening your fart jars, stay clear of open flames!! Kaboom!!

Kelvin? That’s a hot one.

Sure am glad my mother wasn’t like that Swedish mother! That’s the stupidest “tattoo” story I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard quite a few. But if my mother HAD been that stupid, she would at least have gotten the names right – of all 9 of us kids!
