Where My Hairy, Mustached Obsession Began

Bill Buckner, sometime between 1984 and 1987

Mr. Buckner caught my eye in the early 80s while flipping through channels and happening upon a game on WGN from Chicago. I'd never given two thoughts to baseball before that; afterward, while not obsessed, I'd certainly stop what I was doing and watch a game if the Cubs were playing. I lost interest a few years later, although I swear I saw him out and about in town in '84 during spring training.

I Am Incorrigible

As I wrote on my Instagram post of this pic, "Sometimes I'm not just incorrigible, I'm FUCKING incorrigible. Damn, Daddy! (Proves it's worth it to sometimes share your table at Starbucks!)"
