Should have said Offensive Coach, not Defensive. Bart, I know you like to be funny and most of the time you make me laugh, this isn’t one of them. The death of someone we care about to me is too serious to be flippant.

You say this guy "stayed at his job" to coach a game after learning the wife to his son had just been killed?

But at least this guy has his priorities straight. I mean, had it been the defensive coach who did such a thing the guy would have been an asshole, but he was the offensive coach. Go team.

Seriously, there must be some kind of miscommunication somewhere? I hope and believe. Probably my misunderstaning. Right? Has to be!

I wrote this guy begging to be in his backing band in the mid-1990s.  He was a genius. Friend of Beatles, a Rutle.

Don Larsen.  The only pitcher with a perfect game in a World Series.

David "Boomer" Wells went to the same high school as Don Larsen in Point Loma. Both pitched perfect games for the Yankees. What are the odds?

As a wee lad, my piano teacher told me she gave piano lessons to Don Larsen (that neighborhood was maybe 10 miles away).  Unfortunately, that "connection" didn't make me more interested in playing crappy lesson songs...  She was way old and way out of touch.

One of my favorite baseball stories,  that game represents so much of what I love about the game. A guy that had a relatively below average career, nothing special,  for one day does the impossible.

Honestly, I thought he died years ago.  He was enjoyable as a regular SNL host. Great TV work. And that episode of SNL when he was hit by John Belushi's samurai blade was classic when others were wearing the bandage too.
