Hough was magic. I went back after the recording and tried to find a photo of him where didn't look like he was 42 and failed. This is his rookie card, he was 24 when the pic was taken.
He is admittedly not my type of guy and I don't want to be mean but the new Murdoch Coaching Tree CEO of the Washington Post is maybe the most Tory-looking guy I've ever seen. "What if Dave Matthews was somehow also Nigel Farage" is definitely the future of something, but not anything I want.
Have to respect the Diamondbacks for choosing to pay tribute to consummate craftsman Jon Avnet, director of 1991's Fried Green Tomatoes and 2008's Righteous Kill, with a patch on their jersey. A lot of teams wouldn't have.

If you are around NYC on Thursday you should come to our reading, if only to watch me try to read around the em-dashes in my writing in an attempt to make the sentences comprehensible. A thrill ride in itself! It's at Yu & Me in Chinatown at 7pm.
