RIP Jay Johnstone

Long time Major Leaguer and true original Jay Johnstone passed away this week. I was at a game at Candlestick in 1977 with my dad. We were sitting down the right field line just beyond the dugout and he got waaay out in front of a slow curve and hit a frozen rope right at us and we had to duck real quick to get out of the way.

Also was a long-time broadcaster, role in naked gun movie, famous prankster (look some up on youtube), fun guy. had a great attitude toward life.

His was the top cvard in the first pack of baseball cards i ever bought 1976 Topps
