Visited my parents at the cemetery. Turned after a while to leave and, just steps away from Mom and Dad's grave, I ran into a headstone for Rex Barney, the legendary former Memorial Stadium announcer. At the base of the marble slab: "Thank yooouuu." Like, WHAT???? The granter of baseball fan contracts (IYKYK) died in 1997. How had I missed him in decades of coming here to see Dad? Still, what a happy encounter in a sad place. Left the graveyard glad to know that my parents -- diehard Orioles fans -- have neighbors who, like them, are ridiculously cool.

@seaks Albert Belle! 1999, I fly to Detroit to see Tiger Stadium in its final season. Belle is in town with the Orioles and the fans in right field are giving him hell.

He doesn’t even look back at them. He just reaches back and pats his butt a few times, inviting them to kiss it. Total badass move. The Tigers fans all start cheering and laughing, respecting his badassedness. Great moment!
