The website started in 1998 and retro- still links to "w.extreme-dm.com" with a redirect on extreme's server-side to the www. address. Perhaps that's where the bad cookie is from?<br /><br />In any case, Weaver wasn't ejected the next day, though Haller did get him back-to-back on July 9/10, 1976: Arguing a check swing call (1B) on the 9th and balls and strikes (HP) on the 10th.<br /><br />Weaver's famous ground rules/lineup card ejection came on 8/15/75, when Ron Luciano dumped Weaver during the pre-game conference prior to Game 2 of a double header. Luciano had also tossed Weaver for arguing a play at first base during Game 1.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-76255546523341378492012-07-20T01:22:19.176-07:002012-07-20T01:22:19.176-07:00Gil or Jeremy,

It is detecting a Mal-cookie. When you 1st posted the website I had zero issues. I'm not asking for computer help, I know what to do.<br />Someone is clearly now tracking vistors to that site, any ideas? Not who, but why? When a site becomes popular or after certain number of visitors, is this the norm? To start agressively tracking? More of a slice of life, as you guys run a website. Of course, I maybe totally lost, and off base, I never discount that.Big Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059152139707572715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-25116587706914922962012-07-20T01:10:53.390-07:002012-07-20T01:10:53.390-07:00Yep, post the pictures Dr.J.

I had a great time listening to his stories...and he was wearing a 1968 World Series ring from when he umpired. I got some photos if you want to see them. He told me about the Earl Weaver conflict. He was, indeed, mic'd up for a documentary that night. They got an earful. Bill had some classic lines for good ole' Earl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-26938955956248904772012-07-16T11:07:11.125-07:002012-07-16T11:07:11.125-07:00Controversial ?
