I was very sad to learn of the passing of Johnny Podres. Not exactly one of the players who cracks my all-time favorites, simply out of ignorance, but learning about his past through his obituary, watching videos of him pitch, and hearing the memories of those who knew makes me sad that I didn't know much about him. Vin Scully mentioned him quite often during broadcasts and I know he was at least one of the Dodger heroes in Brooklyn, especially during the '55 World Series. Very sad to hear.
Finals are almost finished and once I'm done with them I will post again. For now, it's back to the books.
