Today is the 70th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor bombings. My late grandmother, bless her soul was 16 at the time of the horrific launch of bombs from the Japanese which brought America into World War II. She died from Lung Cancer 2 weeks before here birthday on October 13, 2003. At that time, watching the Florida Marlins run throughout the MLB season by her bedside at the hospital took my mind away from the sadness. Marlins ended up winning the World Series 4-2 verses the New York Yankees on what would have been my grandmother's birthday on October 27th. Marlins have been hooked in mediocrity since then.
Speaking of the Marlins, today team management has given up chances to lure Albert Pujols out of St. Louis. Marlins did get pitching help with signing former Chicago White Sox ace pitcher Mark Buehrle...nice move by Ozzie Guillen who manage Buehrle with the White Sox. Buehrle threw 2 no hitters in 12 year career as a starting pitcher. I'm still amazed how much different the Marlins are with the new ballpark. Today was wet with snow around in every turn as keeping warm was a bit challenging. Here are the photos of the day.
