RIP Bob Gibson! Very sorry to hear of his passing. What a pitcher and an intimidating one at that. Can’t help but think how he would have handled some of these bat flips??? Anyway, tough to lose one of the all time greats and for Cards fans another HOF’er following Lou Brock’s recent passing as well and losing the Wildcard Series to SD tonight too.

Also worth mentioning, Bob Gibson played for the Harlem Globe Trotters and roomed with Meadowlark Lemon in ‘57-‘58 which was a time when the Globe Trotters were more than just a “show/exhibition team.”The following season Wilt Chamberlain was a member. Kinda cool stuff.

Guy asks me what’s wrong with his golf game. I tell him he’s standing too close to the ball.....after he’s hit it.

My wife and I are headed out west next week. We'll fly to SLC, rent a 4wd RV and do a clockwise circle from SLC (1200) to the the Grand Canyon (0600). When I planned this trip, we were to play ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL on a Wednesday and I wondered if there were any brethren out yonder interested in watching together. Now that I'm not looking for a watch party, I'd love to hear any recommendations on random stuff we should see/eat/drink/fish for/camp/gaze upon while we're out there.

Any Mountaineers out west?

Just know that SLC is the west of the Mississippi *Mecca* of craft beers. Let your wife drive that 4WD RV rental. And confiscate her credit cards before you hit Park City.
