I Give You a Day Without Luis Castillo
by Greg Prince on 8 May 2008 12:17 pm
Whether on a blog or in the bleachers, always a pleasure to be part of this tandem. Happy birthday to my chronicling partner who, at 39, still rightfully refuses to take on disagreeable identities inĀ Wiffle Ball games with his kid. Now that’s what I call a role model.
Sorry there’s no game today, but at least you can enjoy a day free of cringing at the sight of spray-hitting second basemen contractually obligated to remain actively under your skin when you’re 42.

Ha! Thanks partner. Maybe I can get a Luis-free day through birthdays 40-42 as well. (Thanks Omar!)
Looks like my old, overly beloved Cyclones hat needs replacing….
Happy Birthday Jace!
Happy Birthday, you old LBI beachbum!
May all of your remaining days be free of over-age-30-switch-hitting-second-basemen-from-the-AL-Central.
Cripes.
Happy Birthday, dude.
