The Hotel El Rancho in West Sacramento, California, was a legendary mid-century resort along old Highway 40 in West Sacramento's Motel Row. During the 1940s and 1950s, it served as a lush, tropical hideaway for the rich and famous, hosting President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Hollywood stars such as Clark Gable, Ginger Rogers, and other legends. The historic 17-acre property at 1075 West Capitol Avenue was converted into a Buddhist monastery called the City of the Dharma Realm in 1993.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Conservative activist William Small went off during a Philadelphia City Council meeting as he violated Democrats for putting LGBTQ initiatives before everyday Americans and criticized the council for raising pride flags, saying that ‘the only flag that should be raised in Philadelphia is the American flag.’

Outstanding!!!

Fishing's good! Donner Lake Camp was a popular early 20th-century resort-campground on the west end of Donner Lake, where West-end Beach is today. It offered tent cabins, auto camping sites (some with electric lights), a restaurant, and easy access to fishing, boating, and the area's natural beauty. It developed as tourism grew along the Lincoln Highway (1913-1927) and near the Transcontinental Railroad, whose snowsheds can be seen on the mountainside behind.

"Players loved Don Drysdale because wherever he would go there would be fun, guaranteed!! But, when Don stepped on the field, he was totally different person. He was a tremendous competitor who would not mind at all, trying to frighten the hitter." Vin Scully. "What Sal Maglie always told me about the knockdown pitch was: ‘It’s not the first one, it’s the second one.’ The second one makes the hitter know you meant the first one. And if you’ve got control, you can waste a pitch to put a little fear in the hitter." Don Drysdale. "Don Drysdale never missed a start, going out there every fourth day. And as a hitter, you better mind your P’s and Q’s when facing him or else he’s going to knock you on your ass. Mickey Mantle had the best line when talking about "Big D" saying: ‘You better hit him before he hits you.’" Hawk Harrelson. "The Drysdale Snarl." "Once a Bum, Always a Dodger."

"The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews." Sandy Koufax. Brooklyn Dodgers catcher Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges rush to shake bonus baby pitcher Sandy Koufax's hand after 19-year-old mowed down the Redlegs with a two-hitter, striking out 14. Sandy Koufax`s first big-league win in his second start of the season. Ebbets Field, 1955. "The Left Arm of God."

"I was taught you never, ever disrespect your opponent or your teammates or your organization or your manager and never, ever your uniform. I was a baseball player at North Central High School in Spokane, Washington, even though I was "All-City" in basketball, even when I signed a letter of intent to play quarterback at Washington State. Hit a home run? Put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more, a lot more important than the name on the back. If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt, hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera. I've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special. Leadership is a combination of strategy and character. If you must be without one, be without the strategy." Ryne Sandberg. "Ryan got beat up on basketball floor a lot. They knew he was the best player." When High School Coach Clark moved over to Gonzaga Prep, Ryne Sandberg`s one teammate was a less than physically imposing sophomore point guard. John Stockton. Sandberg once ran 6.3 in 60-yard dash!

Lots of New Folks! Please familiarize yourself with the rules 🙏 My goal is 100k followers by July 4th!! 🇺🇸 Please pass this along.

"We won the World Series before it even got started. The Pirates were the other club, and the first two games were scheduled for Forbes Field. Naturally we showed up a day early and worked out in the strange park, and we won the Series during that workout. We really put on a show. Lou and I banged ball after ball into the right field stands, and I finally knocked one out of the park in right center. Bob Meusel and Tony Lazzeri kept hammering balls into the left field seats. One by one, the Pirates got up and left the park. Some of them were shaking their heads when we last saw them." Babe Ruth. "At batting practice today, Lou Gehrig slams three balls in a row into the upper deck of the right field grandstands. Forbes Field is nearly empty, so we can hear each shot bang off the seats. Sounds like shelling from a battleship and those guys look shell shocked." 'Schoolboy' Waite Hoyt. "The Pirates watched us take batting practice before the first game. Ruth, Gehrig and Meusel kept hitting ball after ball out of the park. The Pirates were beaten before they started." Mark Koenig. "What good are seven starting pitchers in a four game Series?" Babe Ruth. Prior to the start of the 1927 World Series, a reporter told Ruth that the Yankees were taking the Pittsburgh Pirates too lightly because: "They have seven good starting pitchers." The Yankees had won a then-league record 110 games, and finished with a 19-game lead over second place. "Murderer's Row" was anchored by Babe Ruth, who hit sixty home runs and batted .356. Lou Gehrig, who had forty-seven home runs and batted .373. Earle Combs, who hit .356 and led the league in hits, singles and triples. Tony Lazzeri, who hit eighteen home runs and batted .309. Bob Meusel who hit .337. As game time at Yankee Stadium was 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon, and average games lasted a shade under two hours, the phenomenon was dubbed: “Five O’Clock Lightning.” Ruth and Gehrig. "The First World Series Win For 'Murderers Row.'"

Touching up some old friends…

"Moe Berg travelled to Switzerland to attend a lecture by the eminent German physicist Werner Heisenberg. Moe Berg`s mission was to determine how close the Nazis were to an operational atomic bomb, and if they were close, Moe Berg was to shoot Heisenberg and then kill himself. But after listening to the lecture, Berg decided they were not all that close, and his mission was aborted. Instead of killing him, Berg walked Heisenberg back to his hotel, picking his brain about physics along the way. "Moe Berg’s crucial contribution to the war cause, was that he could offer Oppenheimer, General Leslie Groves and other Manhattan Project leaders: "Reassurance in some ways that there wasn’t something they were missing", regarding a potential German bomb." Sam Kean. For his work with the OSS during WWII, Moe Berg was awarded the "Medal of Freedom". Moe Berg turned it down!! "Maybe I’m not in the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame like so many of my baseball buddies, but I’m happy I had the chance to play pro ball and am especially proud of my contributions to my country. Perhaps I could not hit like Babe Ruth, but I spoke more languages than he did." Morris "Moe" Berg. Catcher, served as a spy for the Office of Strategic Services during WWII. "The brainiest guy in baseball and the strangest man ever to play baseball. He can speak seven languages, but he can’t hit in any of them." Casey Stengel. "I know Moe that you are in counterintelligence, which I assume means you are against intelligence." Red Smith interviews Moe Berg. The 1934, the 'Connie Mack All-Star' tour of Japan was a pivotal, 18-game exhibition series in November-December 1934 featuring legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Jimmie Foxx. Moe Berg wasn’t there for his ability to play, but to spy. While playing tourist in Japan, Berg takes hidden photos of important military and industrial sites for the U.S. Government, photos which will come in handy during WWII. "If he wasn’t real, you’d have to invent him." ALWAYS, ALWAYS in my HOF!!!!!! Moe Berg is NOT inducted as a player in the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. Berg is honoured with a dedicated exhibit, "Moe Berg: Big League Spy," at the Baseball Hall of Fame, which features his artifacts and his Medal of Freedom. Moe Berg is in the, "CIA Hall of Fame." Hero AND Legend.

"My father used to play baseball with my brother and me, in the yard. My Mother would come out and say: 'You're tearing up the grass'; 'We're not raising grass,' Dad would reply. 'We're raising boys.'" Harmon Killebrew "More Clothes to Clean" George Hughes, 1948. Idaho Senator Herman Welker tipped Senators owner Clark Griffith off to young slugger. After watching Killebrew play, scout Ossie Bluege signed young slugger to $50,000 contract. Playing semi-pro baseball in Idaho, Killebrew ripped the league to pieces, hitting .854 one season.
