His Wikipedia entry says he was the last living member of the '54 Cleveland pitching staff (one of the greatest ever). But for the real reason why he's famous, check The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book (or look at the card above).

Never heard of the guy but I bet he was probably only 27 when that photo was taken - sportsmen looked so old in those days.

Flashback to the late 80s when AMOK Books was at its original location on Hyperion. Krassner would often just be there hanging out and would talk to anyone. Funny as fuck guide to the Iran Contra years of the underground.

John Lassiter, William Morris head of non-scripted TV and bass player with Santa Barbara bands the Tearaways and the Stringrays, and involved with the UCSB radio station. at 59 from gallstone induced pancreatitis (from onset to death was less than 24 hours). He was likely active in SB a few years after I left, so I never saw these bands, but the SB 80s Music Scene fb group has nothing but great things to say about him.

Ramsey Ameen, violinist who played with Cecil Taylor from 1978-80 (he's on the albums Cecil Taylor Unit, 3 Phasis, Live in the Black Forest, One Too Many Salty Swift and Not Goodbye, and It Is In The Brewing Luminous). He was quite active on FB, and he sent me some very long and detailed emails about his time in Taylor's band, Taylor's working methodology, and his personality in general that were super helpful when I was writing a profile of Taylor for The Wire in 2016. He was also some kind of mathematician/math professor. Super sharp guy.

"Popular music was the music of musicals, and it isn't anymore," Prince said during a 2017 segment of All Things Considered for NPR. "So, once that happened, you could examine other subjects and make musical numbers about an infinite variety of complicated psychological matter.”
