I hope Telly's ghost comes back to help me out. I plan on stopping in White Castles on my way home.
I was expecting Henry Silva (or maybe Jan Harold Brunvand) to pop up saying "Bullshit … or not?"
ReplyDeleteThe unnamed ballplayer was Red Sox first baseman Harry "The Golden Greek" Agganis.

I had never seen that clip before. I really dig Telly Savalas.
