Holy Schmuck!

Obviously, I've got way too much time on my hands right now, but that's what happens when you take a week's vacation while everybody else in the family has to work. So, I was just sitting around trying to think up nasty Tweets to drop on my friends when a buddy sent me a link to this article from The Atlantic.

It's titled "Sister Schmuck Takes a Stand," so you can see why it caught his eye.

For the record, I am not aware of any relation to the subject of this story, but -- coincidentally -- I have an aunt on my father's side who is a nun in St. Louis, though she chose not to include her surname in her nun-name.

Anyway, check it out and count your blessings...unless you're NASCAR legend Dick Trickle.

My name once graced the back of a baseball jersey

No Dick, probably not, but keep an eye out.

You guys are so immature...

Rusty, my name was once on the back of my jersey...in the 40 and over slow pitch softball beer league.

Throughout my Major League career, I could reach back and fire the high hard one. Now retired, I've got it all back with Just for Men.

For me, there's only one sign: Ole Number One.

Phatt,

I have a World Series ring....what have you done with your life?

Shame on you, Peter ! Hiding behind a nun's skirt.

I heard that before you left O.C. your surname was Angelos. Whatevah.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
