I'm Awake! Thought I'd do Saturday 9


The idea for this came from Harriet, who suggested the baseball theme.

1) "Sweet Caroline" has been sung during every Boston Red Sox home game since the 1990s. (Click here to watch Neil Diamond lead the fans in the first game after April's bombing.) Do you know the words well enough to sing along?
not really
2) Do you have a favorite major league baseball team?
Cleveland Indians3) Budweiser is the "official beer of major league baseball." Do you reach for a cold beer on a hot summer day?
no. in fact, in light of some over abuse of alcohol I won't be touching it for a long while. I am so disgusted by what I am watching happen.
4) Every season, more than a million Vienna Beef Hot Dogs are consumed by baseball fans at Chicago's Wrigley Field. When you get a hot dog, what do you put on it?
 Peanut butter and mustard. 
5) The odds of a fan in the stands being hit by a baseball are 300,000 to 1. The odds of winning the lottery are (approximately) 1 in 12,000,000. Do you play the lottery?
heck no!
6) Though his song has been adopted by faithful Boston Red Sox fans, Neil Diamond was born and raised in New York City. Have you ever visited The Big Apple?
No, but we are going in the fall.
7) Baseball players are notoriously superstitious. For example, the Cubs' Matt Garza eats Popeye's fried chicken every day that he pitches. Joltin' Joe DiMaggio touched second base with his foot every time he ran on or off the field. Do you have any superstitions?
nah. I take the good with the bad.
8) A ball signed by Babe Ruth can fetch tens of thousands of dollars at auction. Have you ever asked a celebrity for his/her autograph?
we used to go to alot of concerts when I was young. I have as a matter of fact, Neil Diamonds. John Davidsons. someone else and a couple of ball players.
9) Baseball means summer and summer means sun. Are you working on a tan, or do you slather on the sunscreen? 
I have been sick for nearly 2 weeks now. Im not working on anything but getting better!
