1. Ali is a legend!
Fantasia, who I love, however, is a long way from being a legend.

I thought she kinda sucked.

3. Who is FANTASIA?
If she sang the Nat'l Anthem, I missed it. I tuned in only when my brother told me Ali was going to throw out the first pitch.

7. It was funny.
Jeter and some other Yank-me were kneeling with an arm around each others' shoulder, posing for a picture and Ali put the "horms" behind Jeter's head for the shot.

5. He looked like my grandpa...
...who had Parkinson's for the last 15 years of his life.

Except for when he was throwing those punches -- he looked GOOD. He looked like he could lay the HURT on me. Damn.

6. Muhammed Ali Is A Hell Of A Nice Guy
I met him once at his friend's bar in Louisville.

Never drank nor smoked, but would always get frustrated if he couldn'r sign an autograph in 5 minutes or less.

I settled for a photograph.
