Dempsey Sparring Photo

[QueensburyRules]

My Father in Law met Dempsey in his restaurant,I have a replica colour postcard souvenir of the occasion.

- - Excellent. Dempsey before my time, but my meeting with Ali with him not knowing was epic.

Guys I wanted to meet and take out for pizza and Beer for a discussion were Hagler and Foreman. Hurts that they both are gone now, but the K bros still available!!!

The only fighter I would invite to have diner with my family would be Livingstone Bramble. In the greatest of irony he is the one who turned out to be the most normal, a family man, a humble man, who spent most of his money on eye operations for his family and in-laws.

No drugs, no violence, just a nice guy. When the money ran out he didn't deal drugs, or beat on his wife, instead he checked himself into a suicide clinic and got help.

I don't think there are any other fighters today I would want my kids to be around. (Lennox Lewis may be the exception.)

Now if we were going to go 'bird-dogging,' with much drinking and some coke, then I want to hang out with Camacho.

Not once in my life have I ever found myself sitting on the floor against a hotel door, laughing my ssa off, listening to my naked girl friend in the hallway, cursing and banging on the door to be let back in. He died too young, but boy did he live.

P.S. Why the fuck would you want to hang out with the Brothers K? To talk Ukrainian politics?

You do realize none of these guys want pizza and beer and have to talk to us about boxing. They have reporters up their ssa everyday day doing that.

When they have pizza and beer they want to talk about something else, not entertain us.

They're so burnt out talking about themselves they probably would want to hear what we have been up to.

And if they're not yet tried of talking about themselves then you probably don't want to have lunch with that guy either. E.g. Mayweather Jr. Probably suffers from "Trumpism" - (I really don't know, just a gut feeling.) But I'll bet, like Trump, he can't string together two coherent sentences unless they're about himself.

Anyway, my guy isn't a boxer, it is Johnny Evers, from the Cubies, circa 1905

As a player, the imfamous Ty Cobb was ejected from a mere 14 games over a 24 season career.

Johnny Evers was ejected from a record 50 games (literally, not rounded), in only 18 seasons. I'll bet that boy couldn't make it through a single Chicago night without a bar fight breaking out.

Not familiar with Evers,but I've read about the Georgia Peach.

- - Banty game**** of a jutting peninsula of a jaw who never met a feller he didn't insult or start a fight with.

Ty Cobb was mostly gentleman save on the baseball field where he was a Tiger. Same deal with any men who dared cross him. The only fight he ever lost was said to have been the blueprint for Paul Newsome's beat down in Cool Hand Luck by big burly George Kennedy..

Good stuff Queenie.

To add to Queen assessment . . .

Johnny Evers was part of a legendary double-play battery.

It came from the last line from a poem named The Sad Lexicon

". . . from Evers, to Tinker, to Chance."

The phrase is legendary in baseball history.

Whenever they 'turned' a doubleb-play the entire stands would chant the line.

But they only played together for a few seasons. Evers (2B), Tinker (SS), and Chance (1B).

Because they couldn't keep Evers and Tinker off eachother in the locker room. Pure hate!

After several clubhouse brawls the Cubs traded Tinker.

Johnny Evers' entire career is a 'one after another' "WTF" event.

He truly was the pet of the baseball gods. He just kept landing on his feet.

Ejected from a record 50 games. The second most, by any other player, is only 22.

P.S. His first (full) year in the League, he caused 'Merkle's Boner. Another legendary moment. Where he caused a league wide controversey by breaking a 20 year standing gentleman's agreement among players.

Merkle got labeled the fool, Evers left the Cubies with a 100 year World Series curse. Yet everyone blames Merkle, no one remembers Johnny Evers caused it.

The story is worth a read if you want to look it up.

Johnny Evers must have been insufferable to be around, but I'll bet a real 'hoot' in a bar on a Saturday night.

- - Was written in Gotham while the Giants were taking a drubbing by the Cubies. Tinker left immediately after Prez and part owner Murphy fired Club Mgr Chance who holds the Baseball Franchise record win% of .667% while convalescing after emergency brain surgery after a beanball crushed him. Actually went to the hospital where Chance was barely cognizant!!!

Murphy made Evers the mgr, so Tinker quit, but by then the best franchise in MLB then was in such an uproar that Murphy and Evers were sacked. Nice guys the turn of 20th Century then...
