The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 27, 2013

I’m sure that it’s true.

Good teacher…. he’s really on the ball… funny (keeps ’em in stitches)…but knows how to drive home a point.

To look at him, you’d think he might be a hidebound traditionalist…but he always seems to have new material….while still making sure he covers all the bases.

" What is the Reds mascot doing in a blue uniform?" Look at the pocket, that is his shirt from McDonald’s, his regular job.JusSayin

He’s a real ball for the headgame.

Try bribing him with a bunt cake.

Hey, that’s the first thing I thought too! Then I saw the Hillburn’s “teacher” was missing the mascot’s handlebar mustache. —-Once a Reds fan, always a Reds fan. It’s been forty years but I can still name the 1975 & ’76 “Great Eight” starting line up and the starting rotation pitchers!

That is Mr. Met.

But when grading on a true curve, one or two people have to get an “F” no mater what.

My 8th grade math teacher used a square root curve. If you could figure it out, you probably didn’t need 8th grade math.

He’s like a great salesman—has a lot to pitch. Of course, being a good teacher he’s very willing to change it up, hoping the kids catch on. And although it may seam like it, he really doesn’t play hard ball.
