“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

RIP Tony Gwynn


Tony Gwynn was my favorite baseball player. A lifetime .334 hitter, he was clearly the best hitter in baseball since Ted Williams. In '94 he hit .394, when flirting with the elusive .400 barrier was unheard of. He was a super nice guy who never got in trouble on or off the field and epitomized to me what a disciplined, student of using a round bat to hit a round ball traveling at 90mph should be.
