Spahn pitched Wednesday…Sain yesterday. 

It took me a minute to pull that one from the back of my mind.  .15" and still raining here.  Would like to have it hang around a bit but at this point anything is nice to have.

I was afraid wxfella or tamarack were going to have to save me on that one.

Since it hasn't begun raining here yet, we've had only the ditty's 2 days of rain this month, though not on consecutive days.  Too young to have seen Johnny Sain pitch, but Spahn was a favorite with the big kick, deadly pick-off move and the best screwball since Carl Hubbell.  His 16-inning duel with Juan Marichal at age-42 might be the best such game since the dead ball era.

I have Johnny Sains autograph. He came to Febway as a coach of the opposing team, forget which team. I didn't know who he was when I was 10 but my father said go get his autograph.
