Great story! And, it’s always appropriate to sneak in a Seinfeld snippet.

I like to let people know when they make me laugh out loud and today you are the winner! If you have a trilby hat, you might be some sort of dad avatar.

No I do not. But I need to tell you I have the 1961 MLB rule book. I remember when I was 12 I used to go sporting goods stores & they had the books on the counter for free. I don’t even have underwear that old! But I do have a Duncan YoYo probably older.

I thought, “Please tell me they gave Lary a more imaginative nickname than The Yankee Killer.” Nope.

But at some point he got the nickname Taters! That’s excellent!

Yes, a plethora of good nicknames plus the one more earned like a medal. I think I'll do a Notes post explaining the other nicknames. Too far afield for the story but I have no shame about what I put in Notes.
