Hot Tip: Willie's Giant Christmas Present

Hey team! You have to check this one out! Willie Mays biographer, James Hirsch, ran a piece in the Wall Street Journal about Willie's reaction to the Giants winning the World Series. I knew Willie was ill and unable to throw out the first pitch at one of the games in SF and I was concerned about him. I was hoping he was well enough to be watching from somewhere. Looks like he just had a real bad cold and is OK. Whew! Hard to believe Willie is almost 80 years old.

Sorry I don't know how to make this a direct link. If that doesn't work, you can just google Willie's Giant Christmas Present and it will be the first thing to come up.

Must read for any long time Giants fan, and even for younger ones!

  1. Thanks for the continuing quality posts.

    Just a quick how to. I am assuming you are in the 'compose' field on a blogger.com page.

    Your writing, you want to link the word 'this-is-it' to an article.

    Left click at the start of 'thi.... hold the click down while dragging the mouse to the right ...-it'. Release.

    'this-is-it' should now be highlighted blue.

    click that globe thing. just above you have some tools that starts with a 'font' drop down. The globe is five to the right from that 'font'.

    When you click it, on my mac at least, you get a dropdown from the top of the page saying, enter url. Thats where you paste the url. Make sure you dont have the http:// repeating twice.
