A <a href="http://ultimatemets.com/profile.php?PlayerCode=5941" target="_blank">lot of great memories</a> are posted about Clyde at the UMDB --- a dozen or so, which seems an amazing amount for somebody who coached a single season 46 years ago and then became an organzational instructor. You got family members and former players, plus a former announcer. Included is an insane account of a shower-room beatdown.

It looks like play-by-play announcer David copied and pasted his 2006 memories in 2008. Probably to get himself back on the "recent memories" page. He's not the first to have done that, and it probably often goes unnoticed. But not this one! I'll have to go in there and zap that repeat memory from January 2008.

But why? Sorta pointeless.

Why zap it? So that anyone reading the page doesn't see the same text twice. Or do you mean why repost it? That does seem pointless, because the time the reposted memory will spend on the recent memories page is relatively short. There's one guy who's looking for a newspaper photo of himself at the Polo Grounds in 1962 who keeps reposting his request. I've seen it so many times I recognize it and know not to approve it.
