    My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

    My best recollection is that he lived in Missouri...maybe the town was St. Charles?

    I'm not completely sure.

    Edit: Nope, I just checked his profile and he lived in St. Joseph, MO.

    Wow, really sad news that kicks you right in the gut. Confirmed what we unfortunately suspected, but still leaves you feeeling empty.

    ORG -- Godspeed and watch over your family from the Great Ballyard in the sky this Holiday Season.

    You are missed.

    Surely someone in here is creative enough and has the computer know how to make a card and those who want to can "sign" it or just have it say "FROM HIS FRIENDS AT REDSZONE" and have it emailed to the family? Perhaps even add his famous post that M2 brought back.

    I'm not much of a baseball nostalgiac, but when I read ORG's posts, I sure as heck became one. He had a command for the language and an eye and ear for detail many writers (myself included) can only hope to possess. He was a gentleman; a man who sought and understood beauty.

    I actually have a "gift card" business, I could print up a card with an image for real mail or I could create a Flash card, that would/could have this whole page of remarks inside it.

    Of course I can't do it until post NY.

    I've been out of town, and I just saw this. Very, very sad news. ORG is most definitely missed.
