Sujan just loves Ichiro so so much!I should have known- there is something about baseball and my lovely wife that leads to tears. When I proposed to her in Cooperstown last July at Eddie Murray's Hall of Fame introduction, she cried during each of the four speeches. I admit that I teared up during Hal McCoy's speech . But his speech was incredible! He lost his eyesight before a recent season and many Reds players (including the soon to be hated Aaron Boone) convinced him to come back. It was one of the most touching speeches I've ever heard. But how do you cry during Bob Uecker's speech? Or at Gary "The only thing I love talking about more than God is me" Carter's horrendous speech? I'll also give her a pass on Eddie. By the time I got around to proposing (shortly after the last Ed-die, Ed-die-, Ed-die chant died down) she had already cried four times!
Recently, I caught her crying during Mr. 3000! Mr. 3000? I'm afraid to watch "Field of Dreams" with her, a movie that I saw in the theaters with my dad and had to put up with his weeping only to hear him deny that he had cried as soon as the lights went up.
Stone Groove delivering a great speech at the wedding. A speech that did not end in him crying, (if you listen to him) damnit!

Mrs. R. is in fine company - did you see that Lee Mazzilli apparently cried yesterday after the O's finished the season?
mitch,
are you referring to sujan as mrs. r or stone groove as mrs. r?

wait a minute...you saw mr. 3000?!? dan, you don't have to see every movie that comes out each year.
the Mr. 3000 thing was my fault. i read a couple good reviews (that did not include Jeffrey Lyons) and convinced Dan and SHR to join me. i had no idea she cried during it though. unless she was crying at how ungood it was, i'm not sure what was so moving.

I don't know where else to put this, but I felt you should know that I sat next to Bud Selig on the flight back from San Francisco on Saturday. I said hello, he hurrumphed and really didn't want to talk, so I backed down. The truth is my mind went blank. I choked. His massive, horse-mouth transfixed me. I know many people will be angry with me for not poisoning his seltzer. I don't want to be known as the man that could have killed Hitler but didn't, but I guess that is what I've become. Sorry.
yes, i cried during mr. 3000 when he (SPOILER ALERT!!!) selflessly bunted to win the game instead of trying for hit #3000. i've cried during field of dreams. i've cried during episodes of growing pains and the wonder years. i cried during th olympics. i cried when doc gooden threw his no-hitter, even though he did it as a yankee. so sue me.
I meant Sujan as Mrs. R. for the record. And Joe Torre cries all the time too.
that's Ms. H-R, bub.
selig is just a humble used car saleman made good.
and now i'm tearing up reading about jacque jones' father!
Just about any schmaltzy movie makes me cry, even the really crappy ones when I know it's coming and I'm getting used and abused by some hack director. Field of Dreams still gets me after all these years. "Dad, wanna have a catch?" Damn you, Costner! Jake
