the league movie

 in the late afternoon i went to see the movie 'the league' in roseville. this was a baseball documentary, about the negro leagues. there was a good crowd on hand, i was one of nearly twenty, aided by it being the only screening of the day. i had been to the museum in kansas city, and being well read i was familiar with much of what was covered. as expected in a documentary, there was plenty of interviews with players, and one of them was with iowa native bob feller. some were with historians as well. comparisons were made between branch rickey and bill veeck signing players. notable to me was no mention of happy chandler, the commissioner after landis. after the movie was done i tried going to dairy queen but the mall was closing up as it was just after 6pm. then i went across the mall parking lot to the cane's chicken for the evening meal. and then to arby's in little canada for orange cream, since the mcdonald's said it was out of ice cream. i laid down for a while when i got back, then did dishes. during my walks i found 1 dollar 30 cents. in the morning and early afternoon i went through binders and freed up some more sheet protectors for upcoming event tickets. all about stressing quality such as writing notes from a history lecture onto another page about a different lecture. or deciding that events from the loft belonged in the event ticket section of the binder and taking out the announcement cards. i also went through the empty chip bags and candy bar wrappers. hadn't done so since october. no surprise how the highest totals were lay's barbecue and reese's peanut butter. then they were all put in the trash once i wrote down the totals.
