George, Troy Soos; is supposedly a member of SABR(Society of
Applied Baseball Research) and is writing a series of
baseball historicals set in the 1920's. The first was Murder
at Fenway Park. Someone I asked said, "Not really hardboiled,
but close.-- There is some Hammett in the pedigree."
Talking about sports, it just occurred to me to ask you if
one of your coaches ever asked your team to win one for the G
Upper?

I agree with Pelancanos, Bergman and Kaminsky in that order
and would add Mosely. Mark
