I first posted this blog at Christmas time in 2017. I’m reposting it here on the occasion of Gary Lane’s 73rd Birthday. As you’ll see … this message first written in ‘17 … Is timeless. Gary and me. The Not So Odd Couple? Well, no. As you’ll learn here. Not odd at all. We’ve known each […]
He’s 22. Doesn’t speak English. Don’t know how he did in school. No college for sure. But don him in a baseball uniform … release him to run around a baseball field? He’s a Ferrari. Ronald Acuna Jr. is, well … just a phenom. Plays outfield for the Atlanta Braves. When he’s in a game? […]
