My bad, I forgot that you were born in the late 40's, and grew up in New Jersey.
But then again, according to Bruce's cousin, nobody called it a speedball in that time and context, except for "The Boss"
Here is a quote from the article linked below:
"Yes, Springsteen played baseball in Freehold. No, Cashion does not know why his cousin called a fastball a “speedball” in the hit “Glory Days.”
“That's Bruce," he said. "I don't know why he did that. Nobody else called it a speedball except him in that song.”
So, tell me again how wrong I am.
Don't ever think your bully act is going to work with HK, because, to be frank, you're in over your head when it comes to me.
