He was a genuinely nice person. So shocking, so sad. I worked with Tom occasionally when I waited tables at RL through college. He was a genuinely nice person. So shocking, so sad.

I skimmed it the first time and I didn't recognize the name. When I reread it, I realized it was the method that was noteworthy and not the 'who'. Wow. That is some kind of crazy. Is #1 for real?

I mean, Hamilton's a huge story with an obvious local tie-in. Channel 4 should have been there to follow him and his teammates precisely because a local sports guy could have brought us something so much better than anything out of the mouths of Chris Berman, Joe Buck or, heaven help us, Tim McCarver.

Also, the game story had Michael Young performing a magic trick. It described his 11th inning single (that should have won game if not for a missed umpiring call) but it had "Young" being tagged out at the plate.
