all men are my cousins, but particularly those that share my surname
oh yeah i can't even imagine how i was persuaded to go down to the railing at all -- and they were all so super-nice about it. it's tough for modern ballplayers because there are so many demands but you never know which is going to make a kid love/hate you for 40 years

I'm in a Ball Four Facebook group--someone identified #11 as the 21-year-old Mike Easler (drafted by the Astros in '69, didn't make his major-league debut until '73).
