Join Rev and Jim (WiHaloFan) for another edition of Lunch Time Halo Talk this Tuesday from 11am to 12:30 (Pacific). This week's guest is former major leaguer Bob Locker (BB-Ref page).
As the director of the Major League Baseball Players Association (from 1966 to 1983), Marvin led us from a history of no rights to parity with the owners. Most of us were very respectful of our opportunity to play a sport for a living, and certainly didn’t want to offend our employers. But Marvin pointed out how grossly unjust the situation was. With grace and dignity, he slowly but surely led us into a position of equality.
Those of us whose careers ended before free agency began in 1975 rarely made enough during the seasons to support ourselves and families without working in the off-seasons, never mind saving for the future. Thanks to this man, we now enjoy pensions, often greater than our salaries during our playing days.
During his playing days, Mr. Locker was also a member of the 1969 Seattle Pilot, immortalized by Jim Bouton in "Ball Four". Listen in as we talk baseball, Hall of Fame, and history with our special guest, Bob Locker. Listen live, right here, Tuesday November 16th from 11am to 12:30 (Pacific).

What time in Hawaii?
it is important to the Halowaii fans
DAD OF VLAD - November 15, 2010
Well, DoV,
The Hawaii guys already KNOW the conversion factor, but since you’re being an idiot , here’s the conversion for you.
PST = GMT – 8.
HST = GMT – 10.
Therefore, since it starts at 1100 PST, it would start at 0900 HST. Or is that too hard for you?
red floyd - November 15, 2010
Damn red, sounds like DOV pissed you off,
With his lack of time zone knowledge. Quick question, when it’s 11 am here, what time is it in NY? Got some business to take care of, hope i’m back in time to hear Halo Talk.

when i finally get sick of DOV and ban him
the irony in my action will be that his asinine detractions from our community and not his utter obtuse stupidity will have been his downfall.
Rev Halofan - November 16, 2010
That's what makes DoV unique..
He’s like that extra kick of Cajun seasoning on my piece of chicken..too much of that and it gets annoying but just a little sprinkle is enough for the day…blah

DoV is like Charlie Kelly
You may not understand him, you may not like him, but every crew needs one.
It is the way of the world.

And what is the fastest animal?
halofolife - November 16, 2010
On land? Cheetah. In the air, I think it's the peregrine falcon, but I won't swear to it.
Don’t know what the fastest aquatic animal is.
red floyd - November 16, 2010

im gonna go ahead and throw myself under the bus here
for awhile, i, like several others, have been thinking of a way to keep Naps’ bat in the lineup since we are never going to see him as a full time catcher. I know it is extremely difficult at this level (probably the understatment of the year), but could we use him to fill that 3B hole? He surprised me at 1B with his D this year and I just wonder how that adjustment would go. I know he’s not a speed demon, but I’m just curious. I’m sure that if this was a possibility it would have been done already….just a thought.

I actually wrote a fanpost on this...
some thought i was an idiot and others thought it was possible but Sosh just has an irrational hatred towards Naps. I would link the post to you but I have no idea how to do that so you can just click on my name and find it yourself if you’re interested.

44FAN - November 16, 2010

autry's cowboys - November 16, 2010
I heard that Diana died from Car-Pole-Tunnel Syndrome
red floyd - November 16, 2010
I thought it was achy breaky cranium.
I know. This is tasteless.
halofolife - November 16, 2010

angelslogic - November 16, 2010
