4th of July Eve ... and a look back at July 3rd, 1966

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

7/3/66 - Atlanta Braves Pitcher Tony Cloninger becomes the first National League player (and only pitcher) to hit TWO grand slams in a Major League game.  (The Braves easily dispose of The San Francisco Giants by a final score of 17-3.)

 

From Chuck Buell ...

I happened to spot this during a quieter pre-Fourth of July Celebration the other day ... 

And Lady Liberty was buying!

And then this rather artful piece as well ...  

Chuck Buell here, bringing you a Great Forgotten Oldie for this Fourth of July  ...
 
And Art!

Wait! The SONG!  Not me!

And not some Guy named ART!

In the spirit of America's 250th Birthday, please devote just less than two minutes of your time to view this rendition all the way to the end. IMHO, it's very impressive! A Great Payoff!
