Someone started a false (unfortunately) "Soros is dead" rumor a day or two ago, as well. So odd that people would falsely report a death.

Got a bottle of bubbly ready for that event.

@txradioguy good to see you!

Sorry I’ve been absent for so long.

Been dealing with some stuff. I’ll be back more often here shortly.

I promise I won’t be. Just been a rough 7 months.

Even if the elder Soros died his cancer would live on through his three children who are every bit as evil as daddy.

Gaylord Perry, Hall of Fame pitcher who won 2 Cy Young awards, dead at 84

In a 1993 interview with Perry, a reporter opened a question by saying, “You allegedly threw the spitter ...” This prompted Perry to playfully mock the reporter.

“Allegedly," Perry said. "Allegedly." With a crafty smile spreading over his face, Perry added, “You’ve been to college, ain’t ya?”

At the conclusion of his remarks when a statue of him was unveiled outside of Oracle Park in 2016, Perry asked seated spectators to look underneath their chairs. There they found a tube of Vaseline securely taped to the seat as a souvenir.

I was at Milwaukee County Stadium when Gaylord Perry pitched 15 innings for the Indians. Robin Yount was a kid playing for the Brewers. I knew I witnessed an epic performance.
