    RED SOX HOLD OFF YANKS IN GAME 3

    Boston took the deciding game of the big three-game series. Lino Donoso – who finally seems to be finding his groove – got the W; Denny Galehouse got the save. Dave Barnhill got the GWRBI, tripling in Ted Williams.

      Quick. Before I have to ask Cliff!

      Name the major rock bassist who was also a huge fan of Black baseball … and who donated over 200 autographed NAL/NNL baseballs to the #NLBM.

        I threw that question over to Cliff, who got it instantly. The major rock bassist who is also (like yours truly) a NNL/NAL baseball geek is Geddy Lee of #Rush. (Cal Ripken Jr. is, too!)

        Lee donated his collection of autographed #baseball s to #NLBM in 2008, bless his heart.

          “leave your mess at my door/lord knows sooner or later it’ll wash up to shore”

          WAXAHATCHEE captures what I love about peak Dylan & peak John Prine

          FYI: Katie Crutchfield : #Waxahatchee as Jeff Lynne : ELO. Real band, but nobody argues about who’s in charge

            Getting ready to go on what people in Ireland insist on calling a “holiday,” but what this group, surely, knows is in fact a “vacation.”

            Chauvinistic conceits aside, #1947League is on break until about April 7. Online intermittently though.

            Cya! Enjoy Opening Day! Go A’s!

                It keeps on not being Opening Day yet. Fortunately, I found a compelling four-minute documentary of an era long past that bears repeated viewing. Suspect it will get me through til Thursday.

                Perhaps it will do the same for others. Offered as a humble service.

                  Giants/A’s rivalry has taken a somber turn.

                    Frank Herbert interviewed for an hour-plus at his home in Fairfax, California about the origins of #Dune.

                    May or may not be your cup of tea, but for me–pass the teapot, please.

                    PS: I lived in Fairfax for about three months in the late '70s. Never saw him.

One of them found a lot of baseballs on tour. The other hit a lot of baseballs.
