Gordon was great; I had a few of his vinyl albums from the 70’s and 80’s. He faded somewhat later in popularity but was still an excellent and consistent singer/songwriter. RIP.

Bob Dylan on Lightfoot today:

Dylan said that his fellow singer died “without ever having made a bad song”, and every time he listened to one of them, he “wished it would last forever”.

Damn straight.

And he had the coolest name in all of baseball. Now he is in God’s Blue Heaven pitching fastballs at the Angels.

And he was sold to the Yankees and Rollie Fingers and Joe Rudi sold to the Red Sox. Sale voided by Bowie Kuhn who had no great affection for Charlie Finley.

Rollie Fingers is a cool name for a relief pitcher, too.

According to Vida, Finley offered him a fortune to change his name legally to True Blue.

He declined.

He declined.
I would have changed it and then changed it back at retirement.

We should do a thread on favorite baseball names.

Jim Brown. He'd crash though the line sending opponents flying like bowling pins, but when he made it to daylight he was willothewisp gone.

London fields is one of the greatest books that I have ever read. Incidentally I managed to work out the that the narrator was going to be the murderer by the time that the young lady said to him “Aren’t you the the one?”

There has to be a better illustration of cool, but I don't know where to find it, or why I would even want to.

RIP The Iron Shiek pro wrestling superstar and all-time heel.

The documentary about him was entertaining and his twitter account always made me smile as all he did was quick one liners telling people to **** off
