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

      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.
