May 27, 20197 yr comment_806280 RIP Bart and Bill.... I was watching that 1986 game. His name will so often be associated with that game and what could have been....but, it was other decisions before that play that helped cause the meltdown. Pitching decisions left a lot to be desired that day..... Report

June 6, 20197 yr Author comment_806705 Oh no! This is going to be a tough one for many of us... Dr. John gone at 77. Heart attack. Truly an original. He was a legend. https://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/news/article_a962e500-8877-11e9-991d-2f4782c02ae0.html That's going to be one hell of a funeral procession... they do huge send offs in New Orleans for even half famous musicians. This one will be epic, as it should be. Edited June 6, 20197 yr by Wmcmanus Report
