Old? He played in the 1970's. That's like yesterday. I recently (like last year) saw him on a Red Sox broadcast. Apparently, he's still connected to the Tigers in some way.

They (the Cryptoquote monopoly) do a series on hitting, in early spring some years. The Charlie Lau quote goes something like: "There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them works."

Well, he's certainly old compared to your general manager! LOL. Actually, I'd like to see the Sox do well because I'm a big Bill James fan, and it would be neat to see him get some validation. But mainly I'm a Cub fan, waiting even longer than you for a World Series victory ....
