Was it true he was banging Tommy Lasordas son?

Absolutly true. Tommy's son died in the early 90's and Tommy swore it was pnomenia but is was actually Aids.



Great trivia question.

Who was credited with the first "high five?

Glenn Burke

I believe that I've heard that as well.

Speaking of Burke, I got a chuckle out of some revisionist history piece that I recently read somewhere that said something to the effect of... "Glenn Burke had the talent to become the next Willie Mays, but the homophobe atmosphere of baseball didn't allow him to flourish". I remember him playing, and the dude reminded me more of a poor man's Omar Moreno than Mays.
