    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.

                  This 9/30/67 game between the Twins and Sox captures a late-season contest from one of the most famous pennant races of all time … is the oldest surviving complete color broadcast of a #baseball game … and features cameos from VP Humphrey and Sen Kennedy.
