Congrats to my buddies on the Worcester Slam Team, who took a 2nd place finish in their bout last night!!! Rock on, buds.
Ditto to the Cantab Team for their 1st place finish!
In other news, another day, another training session. More later.
SIDENOTE from Jack McCarthy’s mailing list: Jack McCarthy got to read his “Walk of Life” (AKA “the Bill Buckner poem”) at a ceremony inducting Billy Buck into a baseball museum. Someone associated with the Baseball Reliquary, a museum, was at one of Jack’s readings by chance and invited him to be a part of the ceremony on the spot.
Serendipity? Fate? I don’t know, but it thrills me to no end.
With Buckner’s daughter in attendance, no less. Which leads me to believe that at long last, Bill Buckner might actually hear the poem if she got it on his CD, which I’m sure she did.
That right there? That’s a win, too.
