Yankees - Moment of Silence for Kirk. And so it begins, move over Mother Teresa!


And so it begins, move over Mother Teresa!


The more that they ‘ Honor ‘ Kirk, the more likely that this was a planned assassination by an unnamed secret intelligence group.

The mobsters do this. Send thousands of dollars to the funeral home after a successful “ hit”.

Not the poor kids who get shot up regularly. Hell, why not honor 9/11 families an extra day?

was right after the Annuciation shooting.

The Toronto Blue Jays held a moment of silence for the victims, but they were playing the Twins that night. It was a gesture most appreciated in Minnesota.

time on DU.

But, it's good to have other interests like Baseball!

And, I'm so mad at the stupid Yankees.

I grew up in Denver way back and went to pro baseball games there.

Wonder if they chained people into their seats again, and how the "tribute" was received.
