      Then again, what if you essay living people and they start going off? That might feel worse…

      That happened with Buck Henry.

      Um. Poor Buck. Well, at least the piece was ready to re-share… I mean, at a future point when we’re all nonagenarians and beyond, anyone you haven’t anthologized on a decades-old show is a risk! Ahh, great. Death humour. Been that kind of fortnight. Did either Everly do a DL?

      The closest I could find, and I had considered posting it, was the frequently-performed WMDB break music, “Gone Gone Gone” that the duo had recorded in 1964. But then I decided that was too much a stretch, even for me.

      1) I hope that’s not any kind of foreshadowing, Don. 2) You can grow a marvellous mop, sir. 3) Is that your guitar on the audio? Nice elegiac passages, whoever the player is. 4) You won the ‘66 Series! Baltimore was once good!

      I was at the series-ending game. Hubert Humphrey threw out the First Ball from his third-base seat in the stands (standing up).

      That’s a pretty darn keen experience! I’ve seen several LCS games, but never a WS. BALT was an early favourite as I waited for the expansion Jays to level up. ‘79 still stings. Dad was present for Carter’s Series-ender in ‘93. Lots of hugging perfect strangers, as he told it.

      I was once in the area outside the Orioles’ dressing room to try to get autographs. I was especially eager to get Gus Triandos’s. Only one ball player, now in his regular clothes, signed my baseball (or glove; I don’t remember). …

          I recognized neither the face nor the signature, but when I got home, I finally deciphered the name: Walt Dropo. Yes, _that_ Walt Dropo.

          What a great old-school name, Dropo’s. It’d come up every so often when someone would get up to 8, 9, 10 straight hits. I haven’t met a lot of athletes (musicians, a different story). Often struck by how larger they seem up close. Just read Walt was 6’5”! That’s 1950s towering.
