Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark---Warren Spahn Plaza
Warren Spahn was a great left-handed baseball pitcher in the 1940's thru the mid-1960's mostly for the Braves, first in Boston, then in Milwaukee.
Spahn won 363 games despite not winning his first game until he was 25 years old due to military service in the early 1940's. He won 20 or more games in a season 13 times and lead the National League in wins 8 times, including 5 years in a row from 1957 thru 1961. He was a member of the 1957 World Series Champion Milwaukee Braves that also featured Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews and Joe Adcock.
Spahn was born in Buffalo, NY, but lived most of his life in Oklahoma after buying a ranch there in 1948.
Warren Spahn was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973.
Turning to watch the units pull towards the divide, it's easy to see that the C&NW has a bit of work to do, to get this mainline up to the standard expected by U.P. The eastbound freight with approximately 90 cars is headed by SD45, SD40, B&O GP40-2 (902-923-B&O4196), and is running in characteristic NorthWestern lefthanded fashion. West of Nelson, Illinois, Automatic Train Control - "ATC" - governed train movements with the current of traffic (westward on the westward track, and eastward on the eastward track.) Some double track had been removed west of this point and replaced with CTC, but the U.P. has replaced the second mainline and also installed CTC.
"Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood."

Otis Rush, Mississippi born blues guitarist and Chess Records recording artist.
His first single "I can't quit you, Baby" on Cobra Records reached no.6 on Billboard's R&B charts in 1956. Rush is left-handed and, unlike many left-handed guitarists, plays a left-handed instrument strung upside-down with the low E string at the bottom.

Rocky: "I was nobody. But that don't matter either, you know? 'Cause I was thinkin', it really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance."

I didn't intend to stay seated with the computer on my lap, but a wee Lulu climbed onto me and curled up for a nap. How could I disturb her? So I checked my files and decided to post a few unseen flower photos from my archives. All righthanded, too, as she has my left arm pinned down (I'm lefthanded). Whatever it takes to win this girl's trust!
