How soon they forget.

Tug McGraw was indeed a World Series winner on the '80 Phils ... but Tugger also was on a World Series winner in 1969 with the Miracle Mets (even though he did not pitch in that series)!

METS SUCK!!

However, Tug McGraw was very cool. I met him back in '78, I think. He was the guest speaker at our annual Little League banquet. He drove up in his "Screwgie Van", and brought his half-naked stripper girlfriend with him. Aye, carumba!!

That's the kind of thing that will make you a legend to 12-year-old boys. Don't you love it when an inappropriate role-model slips through?
