But the Cards have won two world titles since the Dodgers last, which means that the Dodgers are only 50% better today, 9-to-6, not as bad as 9-4, as was for years. If the Cards keep trying and the Dodgers keep losing, just maybe they can one day equal the Dodger's 9 games.Alaska? No way, Jose!coach greg v wrote:> yes it is u cocky bantamweight.

I hear it's beautiful, in fact it looks great on TV and in National Geographic.
But I hate the cold. I have had to deal with my share of it on film locations. I won't do those locations today.
I know where I want to go, and where I need to go, and Alaska just isn't on the itinerary.
But I thank you kindly, and you shall always be a welcome guest at my table at any CBHOF event.

Why would you want to encapsulate an outdoor stadium unless necessary? In Arizona, it's necessary. Too hot!

Judge Leopoldo Sanchez
The Judge
Leopoldo Sanchez
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge
One Sunday night in the summer of 1961 I was cruising down Whittier Blvd. in East Los Angeles listening to some R & B’s when I see a red light on my rear view mirror, the cops are pulling me over, for what?, I don’t know, I pulled over to the curb and waited for the Man to come give me a ticket.
“Driver’s license and car registration please”, I handed the cop both license and registration, as I do so I tell the cop “careful with the license, just got them back couple of weeks ago”, “you just got them back?” the cop asked me, “yeah” I said, “why did you just get them back?” the cop wanted to know, “well my license was suspended for a while” I said, “how long of a while?” the cop shot back at me, short while I said, “were you driving while your license were suspended?”, “no sir” I said, “are you sure? Do you have any warrants”, “no sir” I said again, “well let’s find out” he tells me. The cop goes back to his car, gets on the radio and runs a make on me, after a few minutes he comes back and tells me to put my hands on the hood of the car, Damn!, Going to jail on a beautiful summer night, the only good thing is that it was on a Sunday night, because Monday morning we go see the judge.
I was taken to the East Los Angeles Sheriff Sub-Station on Third Street to spend the night. Monday morning comes and I with a few others are taken to the courthouse to see the judge, some of us are taken into Judge Leopoldo Sanchez courtroom, Sanchez had a reputation as the most lenient judge in E.L.A, anybody and everybody who had a case pending in the E.L.A courthouse wanted to go in front of Judge Sanchez, lucky me, I also knew the Judge from the Olympic Auditorium as he was a big boxing fan, I would see him there every Thursday night, now and then I would talk to him there at the Olympic, but I never introduce myself so he did’n’t know my name.
Judge Sanchez starts hearing cases, after two or three cases he calls “Frank Baltazar case number XXXX”, “yes your honor” I answered, “You are charged with driving with a suspended license, how do you plea?, “guilty your honor”, “okay, a ten dollar fine, can you pay it?”, “yes, your honor”, “okay sit down” the judge tells me, I sat, the judge call the next case, “Frank Baltazar case number XXXX”, “yes, your honor”, “oh it’s you again, let see what are you charged with this time”, “I think it’s the same thing your honor, driving with suspended license”, “Yes it is and how do you plea?”, “guilty your honor”, “I’m going to have to fine you twenty five dollar on this one, can you pay it?”, “yes, your honor” I answered again, “okay sit down”, I sat, the judge call his next case “Frank Baltazar case XXXX”, “yes, your honor”, “you again?, Same charge, how many warrants did you have?” The judge asked me, “three your honor, this should be the last one” I said, “okay, I fined you ten dollar on the first one and twenty five on the second one, on the third one I’m going to have to fine you seventy five dollar, can you pay it?”, “your honor I can pay the first two now, but I can’t pay the last one” I told the judge, “okay, pay the thirty five dollars by 5:00 PM today and I’ll give you three months to pay the seventy five dollars at twenty five dollars a month” “thank you your honor, I can do that, but I need to go home to get the thirty five dollars”, the judge than told the bailiff to let me go home to get the thirty five. I ran all the way home, which was’n’t more than two miles from my house, get a ride with a friend back to the courthouse, paid the thirty five dollars, put the receipt in my wallet and then went to get my car out of the tow yard, another fifty buck it cost me.
I then paid three payments of twenty five a month for the next three months. I saved the receipts just in case. I run into the judge at the fights a couple of times and he asked me if I was paying the fine “yes sir” I told him.
A few months later after I had made my last payment I got pulled over in Montebello, cops ran a make on me and it turned out I had a warrant with a nine dollar bail, so I am taken to the Montebello Police department, from there I called Connie to come bail me out, told her to make sure she brought nine dollars.
I left the Montebello Police station with a date to see the judge. I go see Judge Sanchez on the date I was given. When he called my name he is one pissed off judge, “I gave you a chance to pay the seventy five dollar fine in three months and you did’n’t”, “But, But sir!, I did pay the seventy five dollars”, “you did?”, “yes sir and I have the receipts with me” “give them to the bailiff”, I gave them to the bailiff and he passes them on to the judge, after he read the receipts he tells me “but you did’n’t pay the other three dollars”, “what other three dollars your honor?”, for every twenty five dollars you pay one dollar for something or other he told me, I than told him that he told me to pay twenty five dollars a month, and which I did and I had the receipts to prove it, “Case dismissed” said the judge, “your honor, what about my nine dollars for the bail?”, “ oh, you will get that back in the mail in about a month”…About three weeks later I got my nine dollars back and then Connie took them away from me, said it was her money..... just can’t get any respect
