    I was fortunate enough to be in NY for this. One of the coolest nights I've ever spent on the road. Meeting Ron was a big part of that. Unfortunately, it was the only time our paths crossed.

    RIP, Conscience of the Sandbox.

    At least there's plenty of us around to pick up the slack...

    Met Ron once, at the Toronto outing, and he was exactly as I pictured him being. Spent a great hour over a few beers listening to him talk about covering baseball in NYC in the 80s. He'd forgotten more about that game than I will ever know.

    I was in NYC for a few days last summer with the fam and we had exchanged PMs about meeting up for a drink while I was there. I was never able to make it happen and I promised to make it up to him at the Buffalo baseball outing. Sadly, I wasn't able to make that happen either.
