Help me understand.
Rivera born in 1922
Sonja Llorente married Aparicio in 1956.
Does that work?

So I take it you're not cheering for the Nats? ;)

In Marks imagination................:p

I'm pretty well versed in White Sox history and I've never heard anything about Looie's father-in-law.

You think that's bad......you should see my bracket! :eek:

The Tree???
 

You're correct about the name. If I remember it correctly, it is "The Tree". It may also be the mascot.

1908!!!
 

Your right about the fact that 90% of the Cardinals World Series wins being last century. It makes sense that a Cubbies fan would being living in the last century. After all 100 years since the Cubs last win is as good a reason as any.

Actually, it's Cardinal fans that constantly bring up what happened last century. Cubbie fans have a tendancy to forget what did and didn't happen last century.

So, tell us how the Cardinals improved from their non-playoff roster of last season? :)

Since 1960. I've had the pleasure to attend ballgames in Sportsman's Park, and both of the Busch Stadiums. From Stan to Albert - Go Redbirds!

Not by much unfortunately!

Yeh, right and this guy is Little Looie's Uncle.

I guess the White Sox announcers from that era were wrong, then. But ya' gotta admit, it's a great nickname.

Methinks the years have clouded your recollection. I can't imagine any sox announcer saying Louie was playing on the same team as his father-in-law;)

Would Chita be Looie's Mother-in-law?

I wonder if Llorente's mother taught school.

I remember both radio announcers, Bob Elson and Don Wells, mentioning it.
