And the wall came down

25 years ago today, President Ronald Regan made a speech at the Berlin Wall. He said

General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

And the wall came down!!

Dale Murphy - Atlanta Brave 1976 - 90 (the "beeg donkey")

Dale Murphy was born in Portland, Oregon on March 12, 1956. He played for the Atlanta Braves from 1976 to 1990. He was an outfielder, first baseman and catcher. He batted and threw as a right hander. While Rico Carty was known as the "Beeg Boy" (yes, he named himself that), he named Dale the "beeg donkey". He was the pride of the Atlanta Braves farm system in the 70's and Rico saw the great talent he would become.
