JFK invited Roger Maris to the white house after Maris broke Babe Ruth's 1927, 60 home run record (w/o batting gloves) in 1961.

Till this day Roger Maris isn't in the National Baseball Hall of Fame!?:

Most Valuable Player (2)
All-Star
Golden Glove

Maris, a $60,000 player, was beaned 7 times in 1961, Ruth 0 times in 1927.

In what way is this related to John Kerry's bid for the Presidency? Even in Geedunk, we like a little bit of relevancy. Wink

I thought JFK, a former PT 109 (navy fast boat) skipper, appreciated Roger Maris's accomplishment.

Peace, asking what the relevance is does not fit my definition of hate. I admired both JFK and Roger Maris and many other people. Took me 40 years but I finally did visit Deally Plaza last year and felt pretty much as I did the day he was shot.

This site isn't about hate, it's about long deeply held anger at a man who lied and slandered every single person who served honorably in Vietnam. It's about exercising freedom of speech exposing that person who now wishes to hide his misconduct long ago that hurt so many people.

Asking for you to explain relevance is not expressing hate.

Everyone,

I honestly think that if JFK (the real one) and "Scoop" Jackson were alive to day, they would be hard-line Democrats.....for Bush.
