Only 18 months after I sent it off, (June of last year) I got an unexpected TTM return in the mailbox yesterday. By this time, I had no clue who I was still waiting on, LOL.

None other than the Spaceman, Bill Lee. He added a note about playing here in Winston-Salem, NC - (which I was too foolish to do the research to realize.) But Winston was a Red Sox farm club up through the 1970's. Glad to see this and Bill back on his feet - I know he has had several serious heart related incidents lately.

That’s a great one, John. That is so Spaceman for him to throw in the comment on the envelope about the one hitter, LOL.

Thanks.

Also, in apologizing for it being so late, he wrote "Dying didn't help."

I assume he meant "almost" dying? LOL. He is still among the land of the living. To my knowledge, at least.

Schrödinger's Spaceman?

Just got this one in yesterday. Might be very bad timing if the news from this morning is true.

I can't believe it. After you posted this I looked it up:

"Rickey Henderson, a Baseball Hall of Famer and MLB’s all-time stolen bases leader, has died, The Post has confirmed.

He was 65 and passed while in the Oakland area on Friday after battling pneumonia, per TMZ."

Too young.

Stunned to learn this!

How is it that ESPN's site - neither their landing page OR the MLB page - makes no mention of this yet??

That’s why I said…if it’s true. I’ve seen rumors all day about it. Even on TMZ and the local news. But nothing on MLB or ESPN.
