    Editors Column
    So far, since Ive taken over the duties of editor of the SFBOTA newsletter, pieces
    that Ive written about special guys in SF baseball annals and in the Old Timers are
    men Ive had the great honor and supreme pleasure of knowing personally. The
    subject of this months column is a man whom I did not know, and I feel cheated that
    I did not make his acquaintance and get to know him.
    That man is the late and very great John McCarthy, in whose steps I try to follow
    every month in getting this publication out to the members. Taking over after
    Johns passing, I feel like a .195 hitter just called up from Poughkeepsie to play
    center field in Joe DiMaggios place. John was an artist, historian, wordsmith,
    reporter, baseball encyclopedia and hyper-dedicated Old Timer. His work in
    producing this newsletter set a standard that I strive to reach each month, but I
    know I miss the mark. In Johns honor and memory, I keep trying. I silently
    dedicate each issue to him and ask for his guidance and inspiration. I also beg his
    forgiveness when I screw up.
    We lost John way too early, but his spirit lives on in this humble monthly
    remembrance.
    Thank you, John McCarthy, for all you did. Im sorry I missed you.
    A Serious Moment
    OK, Men! The battle is on. We have officially started the campaign Old Timers vs.
    Alzheimers with a donation can placed at the raffle ticket table at the August
    monthly dinner. We ended up with a total of $230, starting with a most generous
    1

    donation of $100 from none other than Leo Martinez. On behalf of those Old Timers
    whose loved ones have been afflicted by this brutal disease, we in the press room
    thank you all for donating. And a special thanks to Vice-President Bob Fifes wife for
    designing a great can in which we will be collecting our donations. Lets keep this
    going, Gents. Each dollar we send off to the Alzheimers Association is a dollar closer
    to a cure.
    Help SFBOTA Save Money!!
    The number of members who have signed up for e-mail delivery of their monthly
    newsletter continues to grow. We are close to 90 members and are hoping for a lot
    more. The August production and mailing costs were reduced by $115. If we were to
    stay at that number, the yearly savings would be close to $1400.00. We would urge
    those members who have e-mail to sign up by send me a message at
    insplfl225@hotmail.com and we will add you to the list. Lets see how much more
    money we can save!

    Overheard
    Bobby Mitchell, bon vivant and man about town, was scheduled to have lunch with
    his good buddy Nick Poppin one day, and Bobby showed up with two black eyes and a
    fat lip. Out of genuine concern Nick asked Bob what happened. Well, Nick, ya see,
    yesterday I went to see my accountant, who is on the 20th floor of an office building.
    As I was leaving, I got on the elevator. It stopped at the 18th floor, and this beautiful,
    extremely well-endowed woman got on. She smiled at me and asked Would you
    press one for me? So I did, and then she beat the snot out of me! Nick ordered a
    triple martini and downed it in one gulp.
