Welcome to a new tradition, HEAVY METAL SUNDAY!

Sunday mornings... quietly reading the paper with a nice cup of coffee, maybe a church, or waiting for football.

Not any more, suckers!

Starting today, your Sunday mornings will feature the best heavy metal videos I can dig up, preferably live.

We start with Metallica, live in 1985.

It was fifty years ago today.

New York Giants owner, Horace Stoneham, Jr., announced that the team would be moving west for the 1958 season and would henceforth be known as the San Francisco Giants.

Happy birthday, SF Giants!!

1958 Giants

When I drove for SuperShuttle, one of the charters I got was to carry members of the 1958 team to a 40-year reunion at Candlestick. Having seven ball players of that era in my van was amazing. I just listened to them talk about the old days, still arguing over calls and plays.

So, since I'm in a nostaligic mood, shall we go Talking Baseball?
