There aren't too many pictures without it. I once saw him without his violin. Late 70s, Miami airport, shuffling disheveledly off the plane with his fly open. He was a large man.
Great story. There's a guy to root for. Often overlooked pickup.

He was DFA'd for the Mariners to put this guy on the 40 man. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/darren-mccaughan/20038/stats#standard
Very enjoyable article. Also describes his "unique" delivery as something he picked up from a Mexican pitcher. Then it's not unique guys, is it? I guess "unique" has morphed into meaning unusual, which seems a shame.

Have you tried chucking wood at it? Not sure how much you would need to chuck, though. Or, pile up a cord or so of it, and bait it to throw it at you, to answer that age old question
Heartwarming. I tried to find a picture of his family but couldn't. I always like to see the family photos, kind of corny, but true.
Bader probably just avoided Boone today and turned off his answering machine so he wouldn't have to work this weekend.
