Charlie Brown sits on a chair with his baseball hat sitting askew on his head. He says, "This is my Joe Torre look. I'm going to use it next season."<BR><BR> Charlie Brown continues, "I'll manage the team from the bench like Joe Torre, and I'll stare at everyone like this and we'll win every game."<BR><BR> Sally stands a little back on the phone and says, "No, he can't come to the phone right now. He's cracking up." Charlie Brown continues to sit there, squinting his eyes, and says, "This will be my Joe Torre look."<BR><BR>
I grew up in Atlanta. The Braves first season in my city was 1966, the spring I finished 8th grade. I became a huge Torre fan after hearing him one night on the Braves Radio pregame show. I have been his biggest fan ever since. In addition, like so many people across the world, I am a huge fan of “Peanuts”. It is unbelievable to me that I have never seen this strip before, or even known if it’s existence. Like all of Charles Schultz’s work, the perfection is in the details, and he has Joe’s eyes dead on! Can’t tell you how much I love this strip, and how happy it makes me every time I look at it! Thanks to all those who put my path here together. “Happiness is finding the perfect Peanuts comic strip that features your all time favorite player!”
