Bill Bidwell now flies with the angels

So why does the title assume this guy is flying with angels?

 

Cardinals. Flying. Not my best work

 

That prolly works better with Gene Autry, Jackie Autry, or Arturo Moreno

 

Did you two bump into Barry Sanders at the store?

 

Two things:
1) Sometime in the late 80s or early 90s, there was a great story in the LA Times about how while the two shared a name and a home field, Roger Craig had never met Roger Craig. So the reporter (Bob Oates, I think) bought them together. Since this was before the Internet, I can't find it.
2) Mid-90s, I'm covering the state track meet in Norwalk. After one heat, someone noted it had been won by Roger Craig's daughter. A little later, I went down to the field and found myself by him. Been a few years since he retired, but still looked great.

 

Was he teaching people the splitter down on the field? Oh, wait. Wrong, Roger.
