Today is my bosom friend Rob Nelson's birthday.
Coincidentally enough, earlier this week CollectingCandy.com featured Rob Nelson's wondrous creation, Big League Chew.

Jim Bouton is one of my favorite pitchers of all time.
Isn’t he a partner in Big League Chew? Fell in love with him as a 13-year-old Seattle Pilots fan. An article in a Pilots program showed how he threw the knuckler; I had a mean knuckle whiffleball! Then loved Ball Four, the best baseball book ever. Can’t wait to read it in the week before Opening Day, my yearly tradition.
