Everything sounded like the drum major from those ESPN college football bumps. I also recall having an argument with a group of friends about whether Fat Albert was the face on the hundred dollar bill or not. I won, but probably because it was my dream... [8] IIRC, yes and no.

Hey Thelarmis, I had a weird dream about myself sitting in at drums on a gig at some bright, but hazy cafeteria-looking place and holding my own a little, though we went through Phil Collins pieces as though we were part of some college brass band. I remember missing the cymbals a few times on <i>Another Day in Paradise</i> and trying to make up for it by going off on them in an impromptu solo. Everyone, including the band, looked at me like I just ripped a huge fart at the end of a downbeat. I was so distraught by this that I ended up climbing up the front of a nearby newspaper office to the second floor and robbing them of their throw pillows, thinking <i>"so this is what it feels like to be a drummer, huh?"</i> >;) I remember having a Topps 1980 Grant Jackson card; I think he was on the Pirates by then.

Plenty of rich people aren't athletes. Frankly, I’m not sure I buy the relationship between fidelity, prenups and ballplayers. 50% of marriages don’t last. 60% – 80% of men have affairs.

Cleaned his own mound so not to step in the footprints of others, talked to the ball, and flapped his arms. Original to a fault. Too many innings for a kid. 24 complete games. Gob Grimm lasted longer. Watched the game against Yankees, August 3, 1976, the year the Yankees came back to the stadium under Billy Martin. Messersmith, McNally, Vida Blue. Looked it up on Retrosheet. Yankees won 4-3, despite making three errors. Gamble and White homered. Figgy started and went two, walking 4 and allowing 2 hits and 2 runs. Billy brought in Rudy York for 1 and then gave the ball to Grant Jackson, a little known gem in the Yankee pennant drive, who went 6, earning the win. Jackson ended the season 6-0 with an era of 1.68. Bird lasted seven taking the loss after giving up a two run homer to Oscar. His record stood at 11-4. Lives They Lived has piece on The Bird.
