RIP 2010

Bob Feller: fireballer and curmudgeon at 92.

When I was seven or eight, I read a book of baseball history that had a chapter on Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Bob Feller and Stan Musial as heroes of the transition from the Ruthian era. Musial's still alive, perhaps because he only lost one year of his career to World War II.

I never met Blake Edwards, but I did see Joe DiMaggio on the street in San Francisco once. I wanted to knock him down so I could help him up.
