I’ve persuaded young Luke (Ted) to join us – it wasn’t hard…just had to offer a ‘tall stack’ of Moma’s Homemade Pancakes  – so things will be in full swing (or is that ‘hit’?) before the traffic clears. Ted better warn his right triceps though, because it's about to meet its match: Cal for years was catcher for the Chicago Cubs and could fire a 'frozen rope' to second base without leaving his squat. Now that's a Papa Bear Right Triceps!

Last night, May 19, 2008 Chicago Cubs catcher Geovany Soto hit an inside the park homerun against the Houston Astros. The last Cub catcher to do that?
