Pete Rose? That’s a pretty good joke–it’s not that outrageous, so you can’t immediately dismiss it as a prank. In 2000, when the Phillies celebrated the 20th anniversary of their lone world series win, at least one player showed up with a “it’s not complete without Pete” sign. Sorry about uber left field. I think I played that position in kickball.

Dave, just for you, I consulted the Long Lost Friend, containing mysterious arts and remedies. There are no love potions, but there is some advice on “how to obtain things which are desired:”

If you call upon another to ask for a favor, take care to carry a little of the fivefinger-grass with you, and you shall certainly obtain that you desired.

So maybe you should bring along some fivefinger-grass the next time you hit the bars.

“Dave, my own research shows an unfortunate inverse relationship between intelligence and emotional health–you may want to factor that into your formula.”

Very interesting point, Becky. It sure is tough to make people fall in love.

I got fooled by a fake announcement that Pete Rose was now eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame… mainly because even the mention of Pete Rose belonging in the H.O.F. gets me very upset and I stop thinking rationally. I kind of hate Pete Rose. Well, mainly his hair. Sorry if I’m stepping on any local toes, I almost forgot he was a Phillie.

Have I mentioned that I was once a Phillie? Little league baseball, 2nd grade — I played über-left field, which basically meant my coach asked me to sit in my parents’ car during the game.
