R.I.P.

Mickey McDermott died the other day. The Red Sox, the Yankees, and the Washington Senators in the 1950s: that's where you've heard the name before. There are official sites to send you to for more but the best on the net today is the Irish Elk. (But once I said "Red Sox" you knew that already, right?)

I'm feeling expansive in a baseball sort of way today. The Dodgers have managed to win three (3) whole games in a row. A veritable streak. Even the Angels, who aren't even in sight of .500 won yesterday.
