My 500th Post....Shazaam!

Coach Steve at Halftime:
This is my rousing locker room speech I have been giving for 40 seasons.
In 1968, King was killed in Memphis while our team was rushed home to avoid a riot.
Strange things were about to begin happening in my young adult life.
The next month, if you recall, I became an instant classic when I knocked in the tying run and scored the winning run against the Northport Tigers.
Visualization was trying to get my attention.
Another month passed and the school year ended with a second incomprehensible killing of Bobby Kennedy who was running for the presidency.
The feeling at the time was America was a very unsafe place to live in.
My friends began going to a place called Vietnam and were never heard from again.
Yes, you are taking an online course which covers 40 years.
And the best is yet to come
