Happy New Year, Jack
Last New Year's Day, Courtney and I were roused from sleep by the sounds of Jack suffering a tonic-clonic seizure. He survived, barely, but the long-term prognosis was poor. During several months of thrice-daily anti-convulsant medicine, he recovered about 80% of his pre-seizure agility. He enters 2010 healthy and med-free. Go, Jack.

The Lineup:
Oddibe McDowell (cf)
Scott Fletcher (ss)
Pete O’Brien (1b)
Pete Incaviglia (rf)
Larry Parrish (dh)
Ruben Sierra (lf)
Don Slaught (c )
Steve Buechele (3b)
Curtis Wilkerson (2b)
Jose Guzman (p)
The seats were in the section built atop the press box in the old Stadium. My friend John Lawson, who served ably as Best Man at my wedding some eighteen years later, caught a foul ball from Incaviglia.
How slow was Incaviglia? The 22-year-old singled in the seventh and was replaced at first with 32-year-old pinch runner Gary Ward.

Slow Down, Please
Kingsford adopted my wife Courtney and me about a year ago. Her real owners had too many pets for her liking, so she split time between our back deck and another neighbor’s yard. She often slept atop our charcoal grill, which is how I chose her name. She followed me around the yard like a dog. Courtney and I bought a house about a mile away and planned to take Kingsford with us when we move this Saturday.
And now, she’s dead. The car’s driver must’ve had some important business, because he moved fast and never stopped.

Monday, July 5, 1976: Texas 8, Detroit 6. Starter Gaylord Perry collapsed in the fourth and squandered a four-run lead, but reliever Jeff Terpko entered to pitch a career high 5.2 innings of one-run ball. Texas regained the lead in the seventh thanks to a two-run single by Tom Grieve. The Rangers improved to 43-32, 3.5 games behind the Angels.
The 5th was the fireworks game; Texas spent Sunday the 4th in Chicago. I was seven years old.
