tribute to Hal

i saw hal wash down a chinese turtle once with a bottle of mactarnahan's. clutch stuff.

 

Seeing Boots on masthead made me think it was about Halle Berry. I just watched Monsters Ball a few weeks ago.

 

He's going to retire to an honored place on the wall in Pete Rose's den.

 

Fenian and EdSev are both correct.

EdSev is spot-on about the salary stuff, which seemed quite amazing back in the day.

 

If I remember correctly, I believe Hal served as the best man at Pete's wedding.

 

Hal's a good guy.
Of course, he does love him some Selig.
That's not a crime.

And he's hardly alone.
Nope, you can't hold it against him.
Although some people will.
Losers, I say.

Losers.
Old Hal will go down as a legend.
Vast legions of young 'uns will never know his greatness.
Everyone who knows him will agree.

 

Poetry is not for amateurs.

 

What a beautiful tribute.

 

. . . and those of us who recognize a cabana boy when we see one in HB shake our heads, and trudge on . . .

 

i once saw hal beer bong a pint of jack daniels in like four seconds ... god he was wasted that night.
