Some random thoughts associated with this post.
Joe Page, the great Yankee closer in the '40s and '50s, drank himself out of the big leagues quickly. Coulda been better than Mariano. He chased women and stayed out all night too.
When I was a kid in the fifties, we had a friend, then in his thirties, who played ball in the Cardinal system. He drank himself out of baseball. When I saw him at my uncle's house, which is where I would see him, he ALWAYS had a beer in his hand.
Has anyone ever seen this Peter Chao character; does he really exist?
Lawyers seem to have a lot of free time.
I saw the Airplane just after "Baxter's" came out. Doesn't get any better than that (except maybe the young Rolling Stones).
