Thanks for sharing, RIP Mr. Ranew.....................I read the concussion article and was fascinated to learn about timing of all those bat wielding incidents..................Learn something everyday...................Sounds like an interesting book about the Pilots too..........................

Yea, I only have one book on them and I don't recall any mention of it. I may have to look into getting the other one too.
