Russell Martin's father played sax during rush hours in the Montreal subway, which allowed him to have his days free to work with his son on baseball. He gave Russell the middle name of his favorite saxaphone player. Martin's made a big contibution to the Pirates' season - currently in the division lead, although Pirates' fans aren't getting their hopes up just yet...

I've mentioned it elsewhere here before -- but an acquaintance of mine from back in Kansas City is named "Naima" (her first name), for the Trane tune. I think she was born in the late 60's, maybe early, early 70's - thereabouts.

But not THIS Naima., eh? (born 1984) Or THIS one, from my home town.
