There's a new dude at work who won't do anything but follow around the regulars. He's more puppy than man.

As everyone reading this knows, Calvin Griffith was the long-time owner of the Minnesota Twins. He had served in a variety of positions for the Washington Senators, including batboy, minor league player-manager, and working in the front office. His managing career lasted from 1937-1941. He also played for Class B Charlotte from 1939-1941. No records of his playing career are available from 1939-1940, but in 1941 he got a hit in his only at-bat.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to SBG’s father, Butch.

As always, I kind of hate the placement of Black Friday but I still love working it.
Now...would I shop it? I don't know, but I'd lean toward no.

This deserves a better day with potentially more traffic, but I'm too lazy (and still bloated) to go looking for anything else today. If they're near you you should go see these folks.
