A bersyrkyr; A fabulous pitcher and...Achtung Baby?!!!!

Quote:
Forget the two colorful Harolds! : A giant Norse berserker silently surveyed the Saxon army, firmly clutching a massive double-bladed greataxe in his weathered, calloused hands. A lone Viking hero granted permission by his King to die honorably in combat, tasked with defending the Stamford narrow bridge and buying time for his brethren to reorganize."But there was one of the Norwegians who withstood the English folk, so that they could not pass over the bridge, nor complete the victory." The immortal Satchel Paige who became a legend in his own lifetime by being known as perhaps the best pitcher in baseball history, by his longevity in the game 1924-1966, and by attracting record crowds wherever he pitched. Satchel's mother, Lula, would even comment on how Satchel would rather "play baseball than eat. It was always baseball, baseball... And of course fabulous public good/activist oriented U2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U2 and their seventh album ACHTUNG BABY! Track one: Zoo Station All in all: for a Norwegian college grad, baseball (Giants)fanatic & diehard U2 buff, a fabulous Sunday!
