OK, you're a *winner*.
"Well, no I was speakin' about your "cousins" Cloyd and Ron, actually. Who is Brett??"
I'm fairly sure there was a Len & Brett in there, somwhere.
The Boyers were a huge family.
>I feigned illness so I could stay home from school & watch that afternoon game -- in B&W -- on TV."
"Yep. Except it was a Saturday or Sunday game and there was no school that day. But I listened to all the weekday games in school on my pocket transister radio."

"That was a great series!"
You bet it was.
That series was responsible for making me a baseball "fan."
I loved both the Yanks & Cards based on my memory of that series.
"So your Mom is the Brother of Ken Boyer's Dad??"
No. The relationship's slightly more distant than that.

That's cool. My second cousin played outfield for the A's, Reds, and Tigers in the 70's and early 80's.
Now, per JimRob's instructions, tomorrow I will devote my FReepin' to politics. I have an item or two of interest to Indianans and Virginians.
