My avatar is Al Schacht, The Clown Prince of Baseball, in his trademark battered top hat with a crazed look on his face as captured by photographer George Burke. Graig Kreindler was kind enough to render him in color for me a few years ago, which transformation I captured in an animated gif, but unfortunately the file size is too big for my avatar. It does show work on my About Me page though.
My moniker is a jazz-era phrase for something that is the best of its kind, of high quality and the height of fashion. You know, cool. Which I'm obviously not, as proven by my choice of obscure and outdated phraseology.
