One of my favorite episodes is when Ralph has tickets to Game 5 of the 1954 World Series, but Alice's sister is getting married on the same day. To solve the problem, he convinces the sister to elope, only to find out that the Giants had swept the WS earlier in the day and would not be playing Game 5. Aside from the obvious question of why Ralph wasn't keeping track of the game, the more amusing inaccuracy was Game 5 would have been played in Cleveland. The best line from the show is when Ralph prattles off a list of Giant players he wont he to see and Alice responds, “Who’s Willie Mays, Alvin Dark, Johnny Antonelli and Sal Maglie”, to which Ralph angrily replies: “What are you…a Dodger fan?” There’s a lot of baseball in the Honeymooners, so the show is very appropriate for the Banter.

Neither of them could navigate the internet if their life depended on it. I have gotten into the habit of taking requests from my dad to play on youtube. This Honeymooners clip was one of the first things he suggested when I asked him what would he want to watch if he could watch anything. : ) Somtimes when I visit my parents I bring my computer.

Happy Birthday, Reggie. I saw Take Me Along. Loved the June Taylor dancers, too. Had his comic books. Father had his records. Damn. Life of Riley. Joe the Bartender and Mr. Denehey. The Poor Soul. Fast Eddy. Read DeLillo. Pafko at the gate. Cannot do better than Jackie getting sick at a the one of baseball's most famous games and vomiting on, if I remember, Frank Sinatra's foot. The best.
