Applause Video was the first video rental place I could remember in West Omaha.  It was on 118th and Pacific, near Big Fred's.  They had 2 different colored cards to represent VHS and Beta-Max.  Unfortunately, once the Blockbusters came to Omaha, their business suffered.

I was a total sports dork/spaz when I was a kid, especially with baseball.  I looked forward to those games and would be so mad when the games were rained out.  My first memories were in the beginning of "kid pitch".  This was back in the day where they didn't transition from tee ball to coach/machine pitch to kid pitch.

I would get on the rubber and throw the ball as hard as I could.  I was pretty wild and hit a lot of kids.  I remember one game where I was pitching, and the ball went up and in on the hitter.  Well, the ball hit off the handle of the bat, deflected and hit the kid in the face.  I remember the delay it caused from the kid being hurt.  I didn't really know how to react being the "cause" of this kid's injury.

I have been thinking of putting one in my master bathroom.  Did you get one of those that hook up to your water line for the toilet?  How much $ did it cost, and how easy was it to install.  I am illiterate when it comes to being handy, so things have to be really easy for me to work.

From the coverage I saw, most of the protesters were wearing masks, while being in crowds.  Of course, some weren't wearing masks.

@krc1995 the Royals probably did move Gordon up to the majors too quickly, but they were also hurting for attendance during that time, and knew that Gordon being up in KC would bring droves of fans from Nebraska to go to games.

As a Royals fan, I am very happy with the way his career turned out, and how he was a big component to their World Series teams in 2014 and 2015, especially the World Championship in 15.

Regarding the "nut to butt" comment.  It's just my favorite phrase to use when talking about crowded situations.  If you've been to O Street on a Friday or Saturday night, or trying to walk into the North stadium at Memorial Stadium, it's an applicable phrase.

@The Dude why is that an interesting take?  It's pretty much the guidance from the health officials and local governments where COVID has been hit hardest.

@Xmas32 I would say that Gordon had a very good career, and possibly great when including his defensive prowess in the outfield.  Most people are going to focus on his hitting, which has been good, but not great.  Due to the length of his career, he could get his number retired at Kansas City, as he was a symbol of their rise from terrible seasons to World Series champions.  Plus, I think he is very well thought of as a person in the Kansas City area.

Large gatherings should still follow social distance guidelines, even when outside.  If people are going to be nut to butt outside, that is not a good idea.

Not sure what that question means, but him being a Royal his entire career helped him stay popular and relevant in the Midwest.  He was given plenty of time early in his career to develop and his transition to outfield saved his career.  He developed into one of the best defensive outfielders in the game, and became a decent hitter.  While Gordon wasn't the best player on those World Series teams, he was a key leader on the team.  His home run in Game 1 of the 2015 World Series will go down as one of the biggest hits in KC Royals history.

Fall sports were able to do camps and informal practices this summer, but I am not sure what all is involved with the football workouts.  My son has been doing soccer camp at his high school most of the summer, and was supposed to do a pre-tryout camp this week, with tryouts/practices starting next week.  All of this has changed with today's announcement.

@krc1995 baseball is being moved back to start at end of April, and basically be played in May and June.  They are basically having 3 "shortened" sports seasons of 2 months each from Jan - June 2021, instead of the seasons going 3 months.

@Cdog923 that's ok, I've heard ladies are more interested in thickness and girth, or that's what I just keep telling myself.

@Cdog923that's what she said

Stay safe everyone.

Why are you (or any of you who have) getting the COVID test?  Are you needing it for work/travel?  Are you having symptoms of the virus and taking it for pre-cautionary measures?  Not judging, I'm just curious.
