Someone had mentioned Officer Tommy Doyle in the comments section so I thought he’d make for an intriguing blog entry.
I was a little kid when Doyle patrolled the neighborhood where he was known as one of the most-feared, disliked and most talked about cop’s from the 7-2.
One of my most clearer memories of the ‘discipline-master’ [...]

(Update July 29th) Kudos to Brook Budd and Chris Bullock for making it happen.
I always liked Peter Heaney, whenever I was playing baseball in the lot [...]

Remember as a kid waking up before everyone else in your house on a Saturday morning? Watching cartoons and eating cereal. You were playing ball in the schoolyard before 9AM!
This morning I awoke earlier than normal. 6:30 to be exact. I usually like to sleep in in Saturday’s; say around 8:30- 9ish. How come when [...]
