"... the Dodgers faced a rocky future. They may have been fielding one of the best teams in baseball, but it was an aging team. And their stadium, Ebbets Field, was falling apart. Built in 1912 before the age of mass spectator sports, the facilities were poor and only certain sections had decent views of the field. Profits were dwindling, and fans were not turning out for games. Poor parking, poor facilities, and the stadium’s location in a minority neighborhood during a time of racial prejudice kept people away. Fewer ticket sales meant less cash for new players and stadium improvements." Who's Really to Blame for Dodgers Leaving Brooklyn?

I hope you're right. Come to think of it, that would be pretty funny.

Chris Sale was hospitalized because of an infected bellybutton ring?!?! Oh Lord, you can't make this shit up.

Exciting game in Atlanta tonight. I'm glad the series will continue.

It is now, but it wasn't when the thread was created. Typically, the OP of an obituary thread cites a credible source, often providing a link so we can learn more. When a person hears of such the sad news, our first reaction is "Is it true?" Rest in peace, Mr. Bluiett, and thank you. I'm going to listen to W.S.Q., the quartet's second release on Black Saint, and savor the sound of his big horn.

"social media"? Would you please provide a reliable source for this distressing news? Thanks.

I'd better not hear you talking during the bass solos.

It does now, but up until last night or this morning, it said "At Schuller's". Hopefully, this was just a web-related typo that's been corrected. Otherwise, the label might have to re-do the booklet before shipping.

In fact, it could be a nod to Gunther and family. Perhaps it was recorded at the Newton, MA studio owned by GM Recordings, founded by Schuller.

At Schuller's?

What are the chances he named one of his kids "Babalu"?
