Warren Spahn, the winningest left-handed pitcher in baseball history, has died at the age of 82. Rob Neyer has an excellent appreciation of Spahn's achievements in his ESPN.com column. I was finishing up the Koufax book last night on the LIRR and there was a mention of Spahn and Koufax's lobbying to add him to the All-Century team a few years back. I pulled into Port Washington, put the book away, walked home and as soon as I sat at the PC, I read that Spahn had passed away. Weird.
I lost at poker again, by the way. I won one nice big hand and that was it. Crappy cards, bad decisions, you name it--I lost every which way. Luckily, it didn't cost me much money...but I really have to get off the snide.
