Twenty Minutes in Heaven

It's that interview with John Pacella you've been waiting for all your life and have been meaning to listen to for nearly a year. https://omny.fm/shows/880-apple-bites/glad-to-have-met-ya-john-pacella The accent alone is worth the price of admission. And when was the last time any Met alumnus invoked the name Steve Albert?

This is awesome. What a great talk I remember him vaguely; only had eyes for Maxxilli, But I loved all those guys. Too bad there's not any footage. That's a shame Yeah Ron Cey had a nerve. They should have said his little jerk was distacting

I used to conflate Pacella with other guys who were up briefly but always remembered which one he was by his name PAC, backwards, CAP, so he's the guy who's cap always fell off 🧢

I like how Pacella enjoyed his time as Met while the franchise was in the dumper during his time. Very positive and relateable as to running into the ocasional ballplayer

It was a very Brooklyn Italian scene at Shea, with Torre, Mazzilli, Falcone, Pacella, and Pignatano.

You also don't usually see quotation marks within a word balloon.

Yeah I was gonna say the art direction as a whole on this ad is off. Fonts and bubbles all weird too.
