Awesome story from the Chicago Tribune. Well done. Also remember Kenny Holtzman, though I was a little older and a huge fan of the Go-Go White Sox in the late 50s, losing to the Dodgers in 6 games at the LA Coliseum in 1959. I listened to the games on my $40 transistor radio while I was a senior in high school. Great memories - thank you for sharing.
Love your Holtzman / Koufax story. Same age. Right-handed but I learned to throw with my left hand, as part of my dad's plan to have me take over for Sandy Koufax. More than a wee bit meshugeneh, but I still throw with my left hand, about 60 years later.
1. If I were a prospective juror and Trump glared at me, I swear I'd return the glare, stick my thumbs in my ears, wiggle my fingers, cross my eyes, and stick out my tongue. I would prefer to be selected as a juror, but if I were sent home, I'd feel satisfied.
2. Shameless movie plug - Watch (or rewatch) this classic 1957 jury film: "12 Angry Men" with Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley, Jack Warden, Jack Klugman, E.G. Marshall, Martin Balsam, et al, and directed by Sidney Lumet. A timeless set piece court drama.

GO CUBS!
We were able to get to a game and hear Harry Carry sing out the 7th inning stretch!

How handy that you've identified the jurors enough that any crazy could find them.
RIP, Kenny Holtzman.

Day 2. The baby threw another tantrum, I see! Enforce the gag order or put him in a holding cell! 😡
