Dammmit. I loved Minnie Minoso and his comebacks. RIP

Hasn't been a great month or so for Chicago baseball icons.

Minoso broke the color barrier in Chicago in 1951, two years before Banks did so for the Cubs.  Chicago loses both of their guys in a couple months.  There's only a couple of those "firsts" guys left.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.
