Thanks! J&R often has OJCs on sale for $6.99, but I've never seen Blue Notes that low before (only $7.99 or $8.99). Unfortunately, I'm in NYS and get charged sales tax, and J&R's shipping (though fast) is on the high side, but I'll definitely order a few.

"Chief" Bender (must have had a helluva curveball)

I remember a trumpet-playing third baseman for the Cubbies: He married singer Sue Raney...

I saw Burgess play (in person) late in his career, when he was a noted pinch hitter. Another famous PH (not to be confused with the wrestling namesake):

In the hoops domain, God Shammgod (I remember, back in NYC high school ball, he was only Shammgod Wells) ain't too shabby.

I'm not a Golson expert, but got Stockholm Sojourn in last summer's "Concord Blow-Out". It's OK, but not memorable, and doesn't get played very much. I'd go with various other titles recommended in this thread.

Matsuzaka on the cover of Sports Illustrated's MLB preview issue... Will the notorious "SI cover jinx" apply?

I get sniped all the time. Got irritated the first couple of instances, but quickly concluded it's just part of the game. I console myself by thinking that, even if the sniper only beat me by 25 cents (or whatever), he probably would have been willing to go $10 (or whatever) higher in order to win...

Had around 16"-18" of snow in a "Nor'easter" Friday into Saturday. 2-3" more of snow showers overnight. Today is really windy, and everything's blowing around. Weirdly, it was close to 70 degrees (F) last Wednesday!

I'll take it!...

Yes, the interpersonal "team spirit" thing is less important in baseball than in other team sports.
