Re: In Memoriam
A slightly controversial man, outside of baseball.
I always "disliked" him because he was, after all, the manager for the Dodgers, and there is only one team that I root against more than L.A. Well, no, two.
But he seems to have been a decent man.
May the universe welcome him.

Re: In Memoriam
I had to post this just because of the headline.

Re: In Memoriam
Spector was one of the innovative music producers/arrangers ever. His wall of sound wasn't for everyone but when it worked it worked.
And he was a convicted murderer.
And he was a convicted murderer.

Re: In Memoriam
My cousin, who was a music executive, was good friends with him. lol He was shocked about the murder charge like everyone else, though I believe his quote about that was something like "well he did always have a temper." Innovative music producer indeed. My cousin always spoke highly of the work they did together.

When I think about Hank Aaron I think of that kid standing on the train platform leaving home to pursue his dreams. That look of determination.

Re: In Memoriam
This one is bad - for sport and for society. It's so bad it feels like should have come in 2020
