“It also reveals exactly how he came to be known as “Trapper Johnâ€.”
Okay, cough it up, how? Don’t leave us hanging, lol.
It’s been years since I last read the book but as I recall: Trapper John was from, or at least attended some Ivy-league college in the NE. One night, whilst on a train with his date, after a football game they were caught.. ...um in a compromising position, in the toilet by the train’s conductor. As soon as his date realized someone had walked in she screamed “He trapped me!” and that was how Trapper John became forever infamous. Well, in Richard Hooker’s book, anyway.
Funny thing also in the book, Hawkeye and Trapper had played a single game on opposing teams back in college and in that game, during a blinding snowstorm Hawkeye intercepted a pass by Trapper John and won the game for his school.
RIP Mr. Rogers. We’ll miss you.
