by How many of youse guys ever watched a baseball game on TV when one or more
loonies ran onto the field to either slide into second or shake a fielder's
hand? What happens on your screen? Is the scofflaw shown? Of course not
because televising him would encourage others to commit misdeeds?
Misconduct breeds more misconduct thanks to a phenomena called "copycats."
Now before I go into details about the famous SWL card received by Seymour,
WA9KJB, I want to mention an incident involving me personally vis a vis a
famous baseball game scofflaw. In 1987 a certain Yankee named Don Mattingly,
from Evansville Indiana, was at the top of his game as a superstar hitter
and first baseman for the N.Y.Yankees. In fact, in my area which is no more
than 30 minutes from Yankee Stadium, we used to say that the Yanks were
playing "Donnie Ball." Not only was he an excellent player but a handsome
dude besides and therefore met with extreme adulation from the distaff side
of baseball enthusiasts. Incidentally I met him and his lovely wife Kim at
the active players' motel downtown Cincinnati before the 1988 All Star Game
and a nicer couple couldn't be found anywhere. Well anyway, there I was one
Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium in the summer of 1987. Now did you ever
hear of Morgana? If not, she was the gal who was constantly escorted out of
every baseball stadium for running onto the field to kiss her favorite
player and guess who she announced that Sunday to be her favorite? You
guessed it-number 23 for the Yankees-Donnie. How did I know? I was sitting
right behind her, one row back and had an unhampered view of the field and
more. Morgana was known for two major assets that were located between her
neck and navel. My God, you wouldn't believe the enormity and that day was
very warm and Morgana had on a rather low cut T-shirt minus a foundation
garment, with Donnie's face emblazoned across it.During the game she told
everyone that in the 7th inning she was going to go to the railing on the
first base side and run out bouncingly to give Marttingly a kiss but she
didn't for a very good reason. The broadcaster Phil Rizzuto recognized both
of them through his binoculars and announced her presence right over WABC
770 which alerted security. And those guards stood erect all around that
section-believe you me. However I didn't allow Morgana's physiognamy to
distract me one bit because of Mattingly's extra ***...sorry..base hits.
Why wasn't Morgana allowed to take her anatomy to players all over the
league? Because of that copycat idea. Mayhem breeding mayhem and so on and
so forth. Now getting back to Seymour and that QSL from a kid, here's where
KJB made a BIG MISTAKE. By announcing the kid's name and address, Seymour
gave the kid even more incentive to monitor SHABBY frequencies such as .313
and the 75 meter cesspools. The SWL had met with instant and unexpected
notoriety, correct? KJB is proud of the fact that the kid now may be tuned
to the braindead 20 meter one in addition to 75? God almighty; where's
Seymour's common sense? The kid from Ohio is being accidentally led down the
path of ruination because of the lack of insight and foresight by a
venerable senior citizen ham or is it vulnerable or maybe insufferable?
Seymour should have simply said how pleased he was to have received a card
and THAT'S ALL! Listen up hambos--straighten up and fly right. Act
accordingly so when you receive SWL reports, the notoriety will entice the
listeners to monitor PLEASANT instead of tormented frequencies. You simply
never know what can happen thanks to one's RF. This has not been a paid
solicitation on behalf of Morgana's morganas. Damn, you had to be there to
appreciate the magnificence of it all!
