He joined the Dodgers' staff in 1950. That team was helmed by Burt Shotton, who had taken over when Leo the Lip went to the Giants. Shotton made his major league debut with the St. Louis Browns in 1909!
Ah yes, that was it. I was pretty close.

If spring training counts, Vin had a connection to Connie Mack, who first played baseball around 1745.
Actually, that's probably what I was thinking of - so I was right!

1745? He was playing as early as 1705.

Oof, I didn't know she'd been struggling with breast cancer for 30 years. That's awful.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Weird to consider she was a pretty big star in the late 70s and early 80s, but few would immediately think of her when describing the pop scene of the time.

Holland-Dozier-Holland are arguably the most successful songwriters of all time based on chart success. So of course they got shafted by Motown.

When they were contemporary, did they suck worse than Stephen Foster? Inquiring minds want to know...

Nothing is ever going to be as contemporary as "De Camptown Races".

In 1963, local music critic, Dick "88 Fingers" Nixon said, "Let me just say this about that: yes."
