... and I'm wondering if there ever has been another athlete with such a social consciousness. It left me really respecting the guy, which I'm sure was Maraniss' intent. It occurred to me that there wasn't a single mention of a contract dispute over Clemente's 18 seasons. Did he never have one? Because other stars of his era sure did.
I have a second book along -- Season Ticket, a collection of essays by Roger Angell, who was a real jerk when I met him once.
Today I will wear my Cedar Hill Longhorns shirt in recognition of my cousin's recent interest in Texas high school football. So we can talk about that instead of the weather. I may also go to Gerry Cosby's to buy another baseball jersey, as I seem to be perceived as someone who wears only those and I'm out of them.
Did I tell y'all I found Snapple Grapeade at a truck stop and bought four bottles for the bus? Pennsylvania was a great place. But just one bottle remains.
