One in a Million: The Ron LeFlore Story (1978)



One in a Million: The Ron LeFlore Story was a 1978 made for TV movie telling the story of Ron LeFlore, a troubled Detroit youth who rose from Michigan prisons to star in Major League Baseball with the Detroit Tigers. The movie was based on LeFlore's autobiography, Breakout: From Prison to the Big Leagues.

It follows LeFlore from his heroin addiction, to his time in Michigan's Jackson State Penitentiary, and tells of his discovery in prison by Billy Martin, who was then the manager of the Detroit Tigers. The role of Ron LeFlore was played by LeVar Burton. Larry B. Scott portrayed Ron LeFlore's younger brother.

Former Detroit manager Billy Martin played himself, and former Tiger players Norm Cash, Bill Freehan, Al Kaline, and Jim Northrup also appeared as themselves. The movie first aired on CBS Television on September 26, 1978.

The Left is getting ready to hand Trump more power than any President has had since the Civil War.

Say hello to my little friend: Martial Law.

Keep up the good work.

We did all of this in 2012...

the DOJ instituted new restrictions and regulations for local law enforcement...

Required more sensitivity training. More restrictions on accepted arrest policies...

So what's next? More, more sensitivity training?

They don't want a discussion...they want to lecture.

Everything is the fault of somebody else. Minneapolis has been run by Democrats since 1974. Baltimore, the last city that had massive police corruption charges and mass riots, has been run by Democrats since 1967. How much longer do they need to fix the problems of race within their city? Aren't they the ones with all the answers?

“A man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions.... He will always be attracted to the woman who reflects his deepest vision of himself, the woman whose surrender permits him to experience a sense of self-esteem. The man who is proudly certain of his own value, will want the highest type of woman he can find, the woman he admires, the strongest, the hardest to conquer--because only the possession of a heroine will give him the sense of an achievement.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Still haven't slept...I did get the back yard and the dog pen mowed...

At least two people were killed and at least five police officers were shot on Monday night in the US during protests over the death of George Floyd.

The two deaths were in the Chicago suburb of Cicero, Illinois, officials confirmed.

Four police officers in St. Louis County, Missouri, were shot, though the injuries were not said to be life-threatening.

An officer was shot on the Las Vegas strip. Local media suggested he was more seriously hurt.

There were also violent scenes in Buffalo, New York, New York City, Washington, DC, and Philadelphia, among other cities.

I guess those lives don't count...I'm sure there won't be a vigil for those 2 dead in Chicago...that doesn't further the agenda

See, now (it actually should have been 6 days ago) is where the "movement" should lose all respectability and have civic leaders condemning those actions instead of warping the words of MLK to justify the actions. I really don't know what more these protesters want...the cops were fired, the ex-officer responsible has been charged and the wheels of justice are turning...

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
