Terry Leach.

Just happen to look him up.

I stopped following the Mets in the 90s. The local newspaper only had AP stories, and the TV stations favored the MFYs. I got back into it in 1999 with the Internet, but from about 1990-1998, I didn't pay much attention.

He seemed very upset last year that he couldn't play for the team this year. Once he needed the TJ surgery, he seemed regretful, since it meant his Mets career was likely over.

Heck, even back in the 1960s, my calculus textbook had most of the answers in the back. The entire point back then was to learn the techniques, not just get the right answer. If a math genius could get the answer by looking at it, having them cover the steps to it taught them why they got the answer...

The Binghamton Rumble Ponies will be changing their name (for two games) to the Bathtub Donkeys in response to an obscure NYS law.

I will say the sour grapes by MFY fans are a wonder to behold.

Funny they didn't object to him last week.

Keep him. Anyone who pisses off Derek Jeter can't be bad.

Because the "odds" are not mathematical odds. They are the results of a simulation. Garbage in, garbage out.

Was Jack"Hairbredth Harry" pitching? Hamilton was the team's closer in 1966. He'd come in with a lead and allow just enough runs (usually by walks) to keep the lead, usually by ending things with a strikeout. Hamilton was traded to the Angels the next year, where he threw the pitch that en...

Steve Miller, who with his partner Sharon Lee, wrote the popular Liadan Universe space opera novels died on 2/20. I've known Steve for many years (and Sharon for even longer) from science fiction conventions. They've attended Albacon several times. Last November, he contacted programming for the Ast...

A Wisconsin bar offered free drinks if the Jets lost. When Rodgers went down, there were cheers and the patrons figured they'd have free drinks all evening.

So they thought....

Not Boswell. But not Kooz, either. It's Rod Gaspar. Definitely! In

Jerry Samuels. The name might not ring a bell, but he wrote and recorded one of the weirdest top 40 hits of the 60. It was one of the few 45s I actually bought.

Yes, he was Napoleon XIV.

R.I.P.

He took classes at my Alma Mater when he was stationed here in Schenectady. The college didn't keep records of it because he was nonmatriculed, but there's no reason to doubt his claim.

What I find most amazing is his fight against the Guinea worm, going from 3.5 million cases a year to 13 last year.

Loved the movie. Still keep remembering this scene. Paul Dooley was wonderful.
