Gavvy Cravath's given name is Clifford Carlton Cravath. He got the nickname "Gavvy" because he once hit a ball that killed a seagull, which in Spanish is "gaviota".
Cy Slapnicka was a long-time scout. Players he is credited with signing include Bob Feller, Lou Boudreau, and Herb Score. Somehow, "Cy Slapnicka" just sounds like a name a baseball scout should have.
Lanny Frattare was a radio broadcaster for the Pirates from 1976-2008.
Happy birthday to my Hall of Fame wife.
March 22, 2025: Handy
So, I was watching something on a particular platform that I had just set up on my TV for the first time. Everyone was whispering their lines, which I couldn't decipher, so I went back about 30 seconds. After I did that, there was a disclaimer that they would add subtitles for the next 30 seconds. Though it wasn't particularly necessary in my case, that seemed pretty ingenious to me.

We moved to our office at the beginning of 2018, I believe it was. Since then, we've lost a chunk of people (one division was moved to a subsidiary and then out of the office altogether) and moved to a hybrid work from home schedule. As such, we've got a lot of space that we no longer need, so they've been looking for a new location. This building (which is still a candidate to stay in if they can rework the lease to their liking) is low on amenities. One of the candidate office looks really nice though. I'm trying to put my thumb on the scale for that one.
