Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

Days of Yore

Personally, I'm rather frustrated with our current team, or at least parts of it, so I'm going to try to spend the off-day not replaying the last couple losses in my head; instead, I'm going to reach back a little farther, before I was even born, for something to smile about.  It's even rather relevant.

BREWERS 7TH: MELTON STAYED IN GAME (PLAYING 1B); HUMPHREY
REPLACED STANTON (PLAYING C ); Johnson singled to center;
Johnson stole second [Johnson to third (error by Humphrey)];
Joshua made an out to right; Money hit a sacrifice fly to left
[Johnson scored]; Scott homered; Aaron homered; Porter walked;
Lezcano walked [Porter to second]; SCOTT REPLACED DRAGO
(PITCHING); SUTHERLAND BATTED FOR HEGAN; Sutherland grounded out
(third to first); 3 R, 3 H, 1 E, 2 LOB.  Angels 1, Brewers 5.
July the Twentieth, Nineteen Hundred & Seventy-Six, as Robert Shaw would say, Hank Aaron hit his last major league home run. Thirty years ago today.  A bonus, something I didn't know, it was back-to-back with George Scott, which, of course, rules. The Brewers even won the game, defeating the California Angels (of Anaheim) 6-2.

I can't tell you how badly I want, thirty years from now, to look back and say something amazing like that happened while I was watching and caring.  Something even more amazing, because it marked the beginning of something fantastic, rather than the end.  Something like this game.  I hope, I hope, I hope.
