OK. I didn't want to do this in a thread where Hos' contributions are being honored...but...
now that we've talked about the infamous, "Hos Goes to New YorK' trip...
Here's a thread recapping his days here...

For those who want an excerpt about the man we are
honoring today...

Doesn't look like much, right?
Wrong.
Early in the day, Hos took his train ticket and slipped it into the cover pocket of his looseleaf binder (Yes, Hos brought a looseleaf binder to New York. No, it did not have those little reinforcement thingies on the pages) which contained write ups of players like the FS from Sheboygen Picayune Community College. Well, at the draft, someone(s) spilled beer all over it. So, later that night, we are on our way home...LONNNNNNG day....we're on the Long Island Railroad...the conducter comes around to check tickets. Hos reaches for his trusty looseleaf binder...reaches into the cover pocket to get the ticket, which falls apart in beer soaked little wads of spit ballish paper mache pieces. The conductor approaches. What to do what to do. The tension mounts.
Conductor says "Ticket please"
The moment of truth has arrived.....
Hos hands him the
entire binder. (note the missing piece of the top of the ticket in the picture) with a look on his face that I last saw on the face of my 11 year old nephew when bringing home a bad report card.
THAT my friends is the man we are here to honor today.
