Robert Lookup's Unusual List of Important Dates In Major League Baseball

The other day I mentioned a meeting I had with Eric Ringsred, a local doctor with whom I have shared a mutual friendship. The mutual friend was Robert Lookup, a unique man, sensitive soul, savant and street person who was part of mine and Susie's life for ten years.

Today is Throwback Thursday, so I am sharing all the events in Robert Lookup's "Important Dates In Baseball History." As they say, "It happens every spring." The birds fly north, the snow melts and a new baseball season begins. (Oh, and yes, people fall in love.)

As is occasionally the case, the 2022 season had some hiccups in preseason, and we weren't quite sure when this year's opening day would commence. Fortunately, it wasn't too dastardly. As usual, there have been some interesting April stories. I just happened to be listening to Clayton Kershaw's "almost" perfect game. He was actually pulled after seven innings... despite the very real possibility of his joining an elite group of pitchers, 23 all-time to have achieved that. Then again, he will be in the Hall of Fame and... well. 

Anyways, here, all in one place, are Robert Lookup's list of important events that I shared a couple years ago.

Here is a link to one of Robert's favorite films, The Burmese Harp, which he encouraged me to watch. This is a review (with anecdotes).

Robert: Thanks for the memories, precious all.
