    Pinball's 50th

    Mike "Pinball" Clemons turns 50 today!

    He is many peoples favorite Argo of all time, a great ambassador for the team and the City of Toronto. Every time I have had the opportunity to hear him speak he always sounds like a terrific person.

    Happy Birthday Pinball!!!

    The Argos twitter account is doing something pretty cool to honour Pinball. They are posting his 50 Pinball moments. The posts aren't over yet (and I won't post them all) but here are a few.

    Check out the rest on the Argos Twitter page.

    For a Ticat fan to sign up to an Argos message board and have his first post in the happy birthday thread you know everyone has a soft spot for Pinball.

    Looks like they gave Flutie someone else's bust.

    Heard at Ivor Wynne Stadium: "ARGOS SUCK...not you Pinball!"

    Nice to see that the Argos are lifting and repurposing clips I posted on YouTube, to give them wider exposure. Maybe some day we will actually work together to leverage my video archive!

    It would be a wise move on their part, Paul.

    A smile is just a frown turn upside down goes the song by Smokey Bill?

    I think the song you are quoting is Smiling Faces Sometimes by the Undisputed Truth.

    You are correct, you know right after posting I realized it wasn't Smokey Robinson.
    I was thinking and somehow mixed up the Tears of a Clown!
