Marcus writes:

“He may have finished his career hitting .251, but he was much more valuable than that.”

“Currently, he is the hitting coach for the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, and is working his way towards being on the staff of a major league baseball team.”

Here is a YouTube tribute to “the greatest utility player to ever play the game”.

…i’m still amazed by the exaggerated fascination with mcewing…it just goes to show how far hustle, hard-work, and humility goes in terms of likability…

…carlin was an absolute comedic genius…r.i.p., mr. carlin…

…on a side note, i was never a fan of Ralph Kiner when i first starting watching Mets games…i know, that is sacrilege, but it was the truth, until i met the man at Mickey Mantle’s restaurant in 1989, when i was 11 years old…now, i love when he is in the both telling stories of the good ol’ days…

…hat tip to Neil Best’s Watchdog for the link…

…added to by Matthew Cerrone…

…i, on the other hand, am a huge fan of carlin, and had no idea that he was a Mets fan…that only makes my memory of him now that much better…

The report writes, “Cockfighting is both legal and popular in the Dominican Republic.”

…but, that doesn’t make it right, said Little Jerry Seinfeld…
