    Bottom of the ninth just means you're almost at the end of the game. Baseball has nine innings, the bottom half of each inning wraps it up,so the game is over adter the bottom of the ninth.

    I don't have a clue what the hot stove league is!

    Worryingly, that song jumps into my head, too, when I hear the term 'bottom of the ninth'. One of those 'blipvert' type things.
    Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

    I have not worn the Hexagon GMT which Santa will be bringing me as a gift from my wife (yes - I buy the watch, give it to her, she wraps it and gives it back to me)!



    I like that Ebel, in particular the big date.

    I wish we had a Movado store nearby. Think there's one in Atlanta near where I'll be staying for Christmas. Perhaps a quick trip is in store?

    If Black Friday counts (probably more "top of the ninth"), I got this Orient Star Seeker and a nice deal from Long Island Watch. It makes me happy.

    Hot Stove League is the time after the season is over (winter) when fans sit around a hot stove and talk about the season past and the upcoming season.
