OT for Pugs.... Rocky Marciano fans fight to get him on a stamp BROCKTON, Mass., Feb 17 (Reuters) - Fans and family of boxer Rocky Marciano fought on Tuesday to make sure the former heavyweight champion triumphs again -- this time in a contest to grace a postage stamp. Fans from Marciano's hometown of Brockton, Massachusetts, have cast thousands of votes for him in balloting by the U.S. Postal Service for a new stamp in honor of personalities and memories from the 1950s. Marciano, who retired in 1956 as the only heavyweight champion who never lost a professional fight, is one of five sports figures and events on the ballot. He died in 1969. Charlie Tartaglia, 62, who remembers tossing a football with Marciano, puts the U.S. Postal Service ballots on tables every day at his restaurant, George's Cafe. "I've sent in 1,500 already from George's Cafe. Every day I put 400 or 500 on my tables. They fill them out, my waitresses collect them and then I put the stamp on them," he told Reuters. A proposal to honor baseball rivals the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers, who met five times in World Series between 1949 and 1956, will likely give the Marciano camp the toughest fight, the boxer's nephew Peter Marciano said. "There's a lot more people in New York," he said. "Let's try to get the vote out. Rocky never lost up to this point. Let's keep his record undefeated." In the voting, Marciano also faces tennis legend Maureen "Little Mo" Connolly, the sport of stock car racing, and the New York Giants' exciting victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1951 National League regular season playoff. Ballots, available at post offices, must be postmarked no later than February 28. The new stamp will be announced later in the spring. -------------------- Get your vote in!

Pugs, I only donate money and time raising funds for an organization it appears you do not support. The Boy Scouts of America is an excellent organization, has very positive programs for youth in our area, and I believe it worthwhile to support, even if your father and you believe otherwise. Your self-importance weighs too heavily upon you, I follow companies and try to balance hype with the truth. Your ego proceeds you. It is you that makes the personal attacks. The spanking issued was indeed embarrassing and hopefully some good will come from it.
