gsksun4 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Always wondered what members of the Skyliners thought was the stronger corps, 70, 71 or 72. Not judging on the win/loss record. Felton Owens, aka Sonny played the Fleetwood 70 Dream I believe for me once and he almost got thrown out of his building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlisko Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 IMO ... the 72 corps was the strongest ... unrelenting level of talent ... the 71 corps would give them a run for the money but 72 would most likely prevail ... the 70 corps was the poorest of the three ... could never gain any traction during the season ... Winky cleaned house at the end of the year ... Andy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Off-topic... but a "drum corps rooting interest" for all of us drum corps types at the Winter Olympics... Chris Creveling is competing with the U.S. men's short-track speedskating team at the Olympics. He's the son of Ross Creveling, the longtime drum major for the Lambertville Volunteers all-age parade and exhibition corps from NJ. Go Chris!!!! :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsksun4 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) OT: Ralph Kiner, Mets broadcaster during the early years passed away yesterday. He was 91. I guess you could say he’s “Going, going, gone, goodbye!” Edited February 7, 2014 by gsksun4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlisko Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ralph Kiner, Mets broadcaster during the early years passed away yesterday. He was 91. I guess you could say he’s “Going, going, gone, goodbye!” Yeah ... OT ... but, what a great broadcast trio with Ralph, Lindsay Nelson and Bob Murhpy ... ya never knew who was doing the play-by-play, the color or the analysis ... watching a Mets game in the early years was like attending a very long Judges Meeting listening to everything that went wrong and hoping for better days ... BTW ... Ralphy boy was ine GREAT home run hitter during his career ... broke the 50+ barrier twice ... :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW ... Ralphy boy was ine GREAT home run hitter during his career ... broke the 50+ barrier twice ... :-) Kiner was a great player for the Pirates and a HOF'r. He was fun to listen to with his Kiner-isms: "All of his saves have come in relief appearances." "Solo homers usually come with no one on base." "The Mets have gotten their leadoff batter on only once this inning." "If Casey Stengel were still alive, he'd be spinning in his grave." And Lindsey Nelson with those loud sports jackets. Can't recall what Bob Murphy's deal was. Now Bob Murphy from the Sunrisers was a different story. He had that choir boy tone.
