barrysloateDJ- you just jogged a distant memory when you mentioned the baseball game that Kerouac invented. But I don't know any details. Can you fill them in?
Kerouac spent his last years on Long Island, in the town of Northport, where he died in 1969. There are still people there who remember him, but all of their memories have to do with seeing him drunk at some bar. Other than writing the great American novel, and hanging out with Ginsberg, Burroughs, and Casady, he had a pretty rough life.
