@Jimfrombaseball That's why they moved him to first base at the end of his career. There used to be a picture of both his knees wrapped up in Ace bandages like a mummy floating around

Joe DiMaggio would later offer his account:
"I said, ‘Go ahead, Mickey.
You take it.’
I called out to him as we converged.
Luckily, I was close enough to make the catch."
Mickey Mantle never blamed DiMaggio publicly.
"He had his own opinion, but he never said it".
Mickey Mantle`s wife, Merlyn would tell Jane Leavy:
“He ruined his career.”
Game 2 of 1951 World Series, 36 year old veteran Joe DiMaggio supports fallen Yankee teammate, 19 year old Mickey Mantle after the rookie injuries his knee getting his cleats stuck on a drain in right field.
In essence, the 'Mick' would never be the same.
"Mickey Mantle used to rush over to greet new Yankee players with an outstretched hand.
"I'm Mickey Mantle," he would say, as if the young player didn't know.
It was one of Mickey's nicest gestures.
Mickey Mantle's first thrill as a Yankee was shaking hands with Joe DiMaggio."

Xi knows what a buffoon Trump is. He obviously has zero respect for him
Lovable Liberal and his Old English sheepdog@DougWahl1
IS THIS A SIGN OF DISRESPECT? When President Obama visited China in 2009 and 2014 China's President Xi showed up at the airport to greet him. When Trump arrived the other day Xi stayed home and sent lower officials to shake hands with Trump Your Thoughts?

@JoeHeatly @justdavenow89 Yuo. I didn't even get Paxlovid the first time. Just isolation at home

@justdavenow89 Me, also had three boosters. Still caught COVID but was over it 4 days. Back at the gym on day 5. Had worse colds than that.

Who had the COVID vaccine and had zero side effects except for a sore arm and feeling little rough for a day

@sabnabdab @Osint613 Including the burner phones that are probably bugged
English
NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site. The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.

Weapons sales to Taiwan help to keep the peace.
They should never be used as a "negotiating chip."
Slippery slope here, Mr. President.
HOT SPOT@HotSpotHotSpot
🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼 Fox's Bret Baier: “President Xi probably liked that you haven't approved the weapons for Taiwan?” Trump: “I would say ‘like’ is too strong of a word... It's a very good negotiating chip for us, frankly”

@wiseunclebuck True. Consider the voting block that elects them; and/or the help from SCOTUS taking Florida from Gore; and/or the silly shits that voted for Ralph Nader costing Gore the election. Different world now if he had won.

Republican presidents since Nixon have been less intelligent than the Republican president before them. Eisenhower was intelligence and integrity, and they have degraded down to Trump, a room temperature IQ ignoramus and a criminal. And still the masses vote for them……

When I look back to when George W Bush was President I couldn’t stand him,but now I look at him and think maybe he wasn’t so bad.I think that he probably wasn’t a such bad guy,but just not a very smart one.What do you think?

So Itan has 70% of missiles and drine capabilities and closed SofH but captain bone spurs says job done. Pitiful

Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."
English
Begging Xi to help open the Strait of Hormuz that Trumps war closed is a very weak look.
And Xi is going to help as much to end the Iran war as he has helped to end Putins war in Ukraine.

@amvetsupport Tom Price got let go during Trump1 for less than this

What is it going to take to get rid of this clown
“Left out of the FBI's news releases was an exclusive excursion that Patel took days later when he participated in what government officials described as a “VIP snorkel” around the USS Arizona in an outing coordinated by the military.”
He allegedly drinks on the job and has been unreachable because he was inebriated
He has used FBI resources to protect his girlfriend
He flew to the hockey games at our expense and got drunk celebrating
He used the FBI jet to fly to Vegas where he goes to an exclusive private club at the Fontainebleau
He was allegedly drinking at the Correspondents dinner
Now he goes snorkeling at the burial site of our heroes at the Arizona Memorial
When is enough enough

@thomasm29284448 I live in farm country, the food on my table growing up was paid from by a job that made feed for farmers.
But I have no pity for anyone that votes for their own demise. No welfare. Pull themselves up by the bootstraps like they tell everyone else to.

He misspelled "Noboday has done more to DESTROY American agriculture and rural America than President Orange Pedo and the Pedo Party republican-only congress.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "We trust in Trump. He's over there making a great deal for us. Nobody has done more for American agriculture and rural America than President Trump and a Republican-only Congress."

This is almost certainly tied to Putin appeasement given the nature of the weapons. Donald Trump is treasonous.

The US is canceling the deployment of an Army artillery unit created just months ago with the purpose of expanding long-range strike (TLAM, SM-6) capabilities in Europe. The 3rd Battalion, 12th Field Artillery Regiment will not deploy to Germany.

@stevesi28838948 So do the thousands who were there with you, Steve

@McFaul Cabinet meeting in reverse. He is laying tge complements on thick, instead of receiving the slather from his minions
English
So far, this trip feels heavy on pageantry and light on substance. Plenty of cordial exchanges, but few tangible deliverables.
Maybe that changes tomorrow. But at the moment, Trump seems to view a good meeting with Xi as the goal itself.
English
@amvetsupport Didn't seem too willing in Butler Pa. Jerked his head just in time.

@stevesi28838948 Yeah. He can't help it anymore. Jet lag on top of it.

You gotta be kidding me.
