*Mourning Hal Fishman
Being a South Florida gal, I’d never heard of Hal
Fishman until the last few days; he was apparently to
Los Angeles what Ralph Renick and Ann Bishop were to
South Florida – and then some, because of his
longevity. Here’s the Los Angeles Times obit:

And here’s the KTLA Web site page:

People have poked fun at serious anchors, but they
weren’t trying to be flashy. They were just trying to
tell viewers what’s going on, as accurately as
possible. No problem with that.
*Bum at the bat
Bravo, Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel for this
twist on “Casey at the Bat,” in homage (?) to Barry
Bonds:

Just perfect.
*Worthy achievement
Tom Glavine, who may have the only achievement in
baseball worth truly celebrating this week, keeps
getting the well wishes:

His last quote clinches it for me. This man does get
it.
