If you want a thread to die

Back to sports - OTDIH - 1948, Satchel Paige, two days after his 42nd birthday, made his MLB debut pitching 2 innings for the Cleveland Indians. (Oops, make that the Browns??? I wasn't born 'til a year later)

If it was Cleveland, and I believe it was, it was the Indians. The Browns were in St. Louis until the 1954 season when they moved to Baltimore to become the Orioles. If you're interested that same year the Braves moved from Boston to Milwaukee and the Athletics moved from Philadelpis to Kansas City. The last tow teams have since moved again but keeping their nick names. The Senators of course had two incarnations -- the first movd to Minneapolis and the last to Arlington. I guess that's why they decided on a new name. The most famous were the moves to the West Coast by the Dodgers and the Giants for the 1958 season leaving only one team in NYC until the Mets in 1962. I don't personally remember the moves before 1958, just a trivia buff I guess.

Now if you really want to get esoteric try following the early NFL franchises and the NBA teams. The Arizona Cardinals started in Chicago and the Rams started in Cleveland. Seem like the Colts started out in Dallas in the old All America League along with the Cleveland Browns. Of course the Dallas Texans moved to Kansas City by agreement between Murchison and their owner (Ican never think of that oil mans name).

Now I'm having a senior moment. Wasn't Hank the coach when they won the Superbowl. Something close, and Tex sticks out in my mind as the owner, but still not quite right. The owner came from a very rich oil family. The father was a wildcatter who found the East Texas Oil Field. Hunt! The original owner of the Dallas Texans/KC Chiefs was Lamar Hunt.

[OLDBLUE]

Excuse me. Tex. Tex Schramm.
Hank Stram was the H.C.

Okay, I cheated and googled it. Tex Shram owned the Cowboys at some point. Lamar Hunt (or one of hte Hunts) owned the Texans/Chiefs. I don't know when Murchison came into the picture. Was he just before Jerry?

Your Google is wrong. Tex Schramm never owned the Dallas Cowboys. Schramm was the Cowboys' President, General Manager and front man for 30+ years. He worked for the Cowboys' long time owner Clint Murchison for most of his career, and later Bum Bright, who owned the Cowboys from about 1984-1989. I think Schramm also worked for Jerry Jones for a year or two while Jones got his feet wet.

Okay so my google was wrong. How about Lamar Hunt and the Texans/Chiefs. That's from memory. Maybe I should have stayed with Murchinson who was my first guess. But I was pretty sure Schram was connected to the Cowboys and had nothing to do with the Texans/Chiefs.

[OLDBLUE]

Lamar Hunt. Where is my m.. m.. I forgot!

- Constant wailing from some idiot in a tower
- More than one wife
More than one mother in law
- You can't shave
- Your wife can't shave
- You can't wash off the smell of donkey
- You cook over burning camel shit
- Your wife is picked by someone else for you
- and your wife smells worse than your donkey
Then they tell you that "when you die, it all gets better"??
