Kudos to Two Class Acts of Baseball: Cal Ripken Jr and Tony Gwynn Enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame

This years MLB Hall of Fame ceremonies were a true FIELD OF DREAMS …

Thank you Cal Ripkin Jr. and Tony Gwynn. With all the focus in Major League Baseball on Barry Bonds and his controversial and steroids tainted home run record, today two giants of baseball and class acts were enshrined in the MLB Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Cal Ripkin Jr. and Tony Gwynn represent everything that is right with baseball. Over their respective careers, Cal and Tony did it right, both on and off the baseball diamond. These two special men delighted man fans over their careers and during todays ceremonies once again for their fans created another Field of Dreams.

Tony Gwynn & Cal Ripkin Jr. – Hall of Fame may never induct two more deserving men of skill and character than these guys ever again. They are two true heros of the game, roll models who got it and ambassadors of baseball.

Many have wondered what it was that made Ripkin so beloved by Orioles and baseball fans. After all, Ripkin did break the fabled Lou Gehrig’s consecutive game mark. Broken records of such giants of baseball are not always easily accepted by fans. Ripkin was embraced by fans and celebrated everywhere because fans knew that Ripkin was a grounded and respectful individual who could always put things into their proper perspective.

“I always looked at it as just showing up for work every day,” he said. “As I look out on this audience, I see thousands of people who do the same, teachers, police officers, mothers, fathers, business people and many others.”

Alicia Pilouw Found Dead & Decomposing as Husband claims he Smelled Nothing

File this one under, the hard to believe category. 50 year old Alicia Pilouw had been missing since July 12, 2007. Her husband, Eugene Pilouw thought she had left him. Alicia Pilouw’s body was found three days later in a storage closet on the home. Eugene Pilouw claims that he that he never smelled her body decomposing. How does one not smell a decomposing body in the middle of the summer?  Eugene actually blamed his lack of smell on his damaged nerves in his nose due to diabetes. 

Eugene Pilouw, who said that diabetes have damaged the nerves in his nose, said he noticed his wife was missing on July 12. Three days later, his daughter found his wife’s body in storage room in the back area of the home.

“I never smelled anything and I still don’t smell anything,” he said. “I thought she had run away from home again — especially after I noticed an envelope with $250 was missing.” (Houston Chronicle)

 A toxicology report is expected back on Monday to determine the cause of death; however, police are not ruling out foul play as officers continue investigating “unusual circumstances” surrounding her death
