Charlie Donovan: How would you like to manage the Indians this year?
Lou Brown: Gee, I don't know...
Charlie Donovan: What do you mean, you don't know? This is your chance to manage in the big leagues.
Lou Brown: Let me get back to you, will ya, Charlie? I got a guy on the other line asking about some white walls.


RIP Lou Brown.

Maybe this is why the Tribe is playing so well lately. One movie he was in that wasn't mentioned in the article, I show to my Government classes .....Roe v. Wade, in which he plays "Roe's" father. RIP, "Lou"!

If George Steinbrener's bid to buy the pathetic Cleveland Indians would have held up. The Indians would have been wearing pin stripes and many titles.

And then you could have been rooting for a Cleveland team when you decided to be a frontrunner!

I decided not to say it, rather, leave it to someone else to do it. Well played, my friend! Now, go over to my thread and post up the Glittering Wahoo!

QFT:

Lou Brown: [Lou's talk to the team before the opening day game] All right people, we got 10 minutes 'till game time, let's all gather 'round. I'm not much for giving inspirational addresses, but I'd just like to point out that every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. The local press seems to think that we'd save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves. Me, I'm for wasting sportswriters' time. So I figured we ought to hang around for a while and see if we can give 'em all a nice big shitburger to eat!
