What’s my favorite song? John Prine’s cover of “Clay Pigeons.” Originally written by Blaze Foley, I’m partial to Prine’s recorded version of the song on his album, Fair & Square. youtu.be/20Rucu7uNwc?si…

One of my all-time favorite players. Loved watching him play. The Cubs in the 80s were basically my babysitter every summer. Gone way too soon.
