Well Mickey, since you asked,

It was a cold night many, many years ago. The kind of night when no matter how many drinks you have, the warmth the whiskey brings to your throat never makes it to your toes. And I guess I may have just had just one too many. See, I was in Philadelphia on business. What kind of business? None of your business, that’s what kind. Actually, I came to Philadelphia to celebrate the Bicentennial, but that’s another story.

I was trying to make my way back to the hotel from Dirty Franks bar when I must have made a wrong turn and found myself in a dead-end alley with three of the biggest palookas you’ve ever seen, each carrying pipes and blocking my way out. I scanned the alley for anything I could use as a weapon and found nothing. As I prepared for the worst, a man appeared at the entrance to the alley. He was only 5’ 10” tall but he looked enormous to me. He was decked out in a blue shirt with a large #10 on the front. “Hey boys, what’s going on down there?” he yelled. “Oh, my god. It’s Larry Bowa!” they yelled in unison, dropped their pipes, and ran to him seeking an autograph.

Well, from that day on I swore Larry would always be on one of my Strat teams. Okay, maybe it was just a dream, but Joe is drafting right in front of me and I know he would be taking Bowa one of these rounds.

- Jim

Well I believe in dreams! So I’m all in on the Larry and the thugs story! And the Dirty Frank add in is a nice touch.

We are ripping through this draft! but there is no rush, as I would prefer not to start season 78 before we at least near the end of Season 77. We may have a long while to tinker with teams after this draft.
