You go in now as I did five years back, its a depressing smoke filled nickle slot joint. As a young gun, I'd give my two front teeth to see a small venue show with Deano and the boys. That or Willie Mays in his prime, taking the extra base.<br /><br />I'm guessing the winners share was 5K and the losers share was 2K. Nothing to scuff at in those days.<br /><br />My grandparents settled in the foothills, I'm pretty sure they hit Harrahs during that time period, they moved in 1959 from the bay.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-50155474217647116882012-02-22T17:34:22.475-08:002012-02-22T17:34:22.475-08:00Hint: The Commissioner of Baseball in 1962 shared...Hint: The Commissioner of Baseball in 1962 shared a name with one of the "Detroit Three."Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-72828456329198409832012-02-22T16:54:09.213-08:002012-02-22T16:54:09.213-08:00I think it was Cal-Neva that Sinatra was an owner....I think it was Cal-Neva that Sinatra was an owner. Man, that would have been a great show, him fronting a small jazz combo.<br /><br />How about The Smothers Bros.?<br /><br />Also, I'm pretty sure Joe Cronin was the AL president, not the Commish.M.C.

In fact, they've ONLY won 7 more in 50 years. 15 year gap til the Reggie one. 12 Pennants. They've lost 5 WS. What a loser organization. <br /><br />I thought the Cal-Neva was more the Rat Pack's speed with Frankie owning a piece for a while and all. I'm guessing Bert Bacharach.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-51334142065674179212012-02-21T07:22:21.829-08:002012-02-21T07:22:21.829-08:00Love the questions - I'm better at Jeopardy th...Love the questions - I'm better at Jeopardy though, when I get the answers first.
