A NEW GAME! "Last Three Letters"

I came across this on Gransnet site. The idea is to make a 3 word phrase, the initials of each word to be the last three letters of previous post. If you can get a theme going, all the better. eg:

Ruby's doing sandwiches

Hilda expects some.

Ordering more eclairs

I'll risk some ;)

Oh! Might explode?

Ouch! Doing exercises!

*If the reference is to the great Ted Williams, the day might be the All-Star Game of 1941, which he won with a home run off the NLʻs Claude Passeau (Cubs).

... day AND year!*

*1941 an exceptional year for him as well, as Williams batted .406 (major league baseball's last .400 hitter).

Williams . . .major league baseballʻs last .400 hitter. (99)

Glad you dug that out of history, ghr4 (or, like me, out of a 10-or-so-year-oldʻs memory. ʻ41 was also the year of Lefty Groveʻs 300th and last victory, and the year of Joe DiMaggioʻs 56-game hitting streak.
The Boston Red Sox roster of that year contained 5 future Hall-of Famers: Besides Ted and Lefty there was Joe Cronin (ss and mgr.), Jimmy Foxx (1b) and the late Bobby Doerr (2b).
