Early april 1990. I think it was actually April 3rd. Rain started mixing with snow late in the afternoon then flipped to all Snow. It was moderate to heavy at times. Snowed until the early morning hours. 2-3 inches total in Owings Mills. Pretty legitimate event for so late in the season and it was well forecasted.

There are several new bills currently being proposed in Congress for phase 4 that would put more money directly in our hands. Since they have little chance getting through as currently devised there's no point in going into detail however any form of them would require anywhere between 2 and 6 trillion maybe even more if you can believe it. I guess a modified version could make it through. The problem this time will be the partisanship. The other phases got through will a little teeth pulling but for the most part there was bipartisanship Phase 4 will not go anything like that and will be an all out war between the 2 parties.

I see we have another "very stable genius" on our hands.

That call and the Jeffrey Maier incident changed the course of history. 2 separate dynasties was the result. We'll never know what could've been if either of those plays were reversed.

Usually these interviews last 5 minutes or so. This one went on forever. Producers must have been in Anderson's ear to keep her going as long as possible.

I watched the entire interview. It was hard to watch as the mayor kept digging herself deeper into a hole. Simply unbelievable. Just remarkable how some people get elected into office.

Once again you know very well that other voices do weigh and are heavily considered and who said anything about a lock down until December or zero deaths. I never heard Fauci day anything like that.

Of course his voice should carry more weight than others . Somebody's has too. There is a reason why he is the director of infectious diseases and leading authority. Most other officials except his lead anyway and are fine with him as the front man. I have not heard anybody in his field unsupportive of his lead. At this point you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. You understand darn well why his voice carry more weight.

People like Fauci have no political agenda. His entire life and career is science and data based. His only objective is to save lives and protect the public. When a certain establishment hears information or facts they dont want to hear than they resort to attack methods. If you're ever unsure what to believe when watching or listening to the media all you have to do to know what the real truth is to listen to the doctors, nurses and health officials on the front line.

Don't forget we also took a flyer on an aging Vlad Guerrero. We also brought back a roided up David Segui and payed him good money for a 3 or 4 year deal only to see him hurt every other day and never play much.

No doubt. When the top health officials say highly contagious and Dr. Fauci says this virus is "unprecedented" that is all you need to know. Those were his exact words. There is no way to spin Fauci's words which in any logical human being should end the debate.

He was an excellent player even without the steroids. Injury prone but a real solid 5 tool guy.

Of course it would. Over 20k has come in just the last week.

Yup, that's the one. My mom would give me a couple bucks while she went to the library. It stayed open til around the late 80's early 90's but the early 80's were its heyday. I probably went in there from like 79 to 86-87.

Hell yeah. I used to hang at the arcade at garrison Forrest and the patients were always coming around. No doubt a very depressing institution for even back in those days. Actually scary.

There were a lot of really good players from reisterstown. I cant remember the guy who ran that team. He died some years back. They had the 15/16 league like you played in and at one time had 17/18 team. Back in the day it was a priviledge to play under the light at Hannah Moore. You're a couple years younger than me so you may not know some of the guys I played with since they were a little older than me.

Johnny Cake was a middle school in Woodlawn . It hosted the Edrico Tournament for many years. I played on the Owing Mills travel team and we played in that tournament every year. Tough tournament too. We were part of the Northwest area colt league for ages 15-17. We had a solid team and I played with a lot of good players from Franklin. When I was 18 I played for Pikesville in the Baltimore Metro league. Another great league with real tough teams. Played against the yankee rebels, Essex bedouins, putty hill and liberty road squads. No weak players. Pretty much every team was filled with local all stars. Johnny's also maybe called Leoni's was a very good team in Baltimore . Always had great players on that team. They used wooden bats when everyone else didnt.

Yes I remember as well.

Well said. I have to bite my tongue not to get involved in the conversation. I just cant believe what I'm reading and how some people have absolutely no empathy and compassion for others. There's just no way to keep politics out of this and that's why I've refrained from responding to some of these absurd posts.

I'm pretty sure there was also a very late season snowfall in April 1993. I'm usually good at remembering details but for some reason that one is vague. I think it was after the 10th and maybe closer to the 20th. I was attending Western Maryland College at the time and recall it snowing quite heavily at times until noon. The most on the ground at any time was maybe 2 inches.

PDIII hasn't been the same since he had the 102 fever and went to the food bar and got hot wings.

Good points. They should put an immediate freeze or suspension on mortgages and rents. Upwards of 90 days. Then the individual checks will carry more weight. Since the banks can borrow as much money as they want with either very low interest or none at all they will easily survive.

I worked for the pikesville and Owings mills rec council in the late 80's until the early 90's. Enjoyed it very much.

A little rain/snow mix from time to time.
