Space Oddity

Now look... my skills at sneaking into good seats really only apply at

the Rogers Centre, so I'm not mentioning it so that you can all rush

down there and get better seats than me. But since 99.99% of people

aren't cool enough to give a fuck, I guess I'm not too worried about

announcing that former Expos pitcher and legendary baseball odd guy,

Bill "Spaceman" Lee, will be making an appearance on Friday night

(March 30th) at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto.

He will be promoting a documentary about himself, Spaceman: A Baseball

Odyssey.

If, like myself, you're too young to remember the Spaceman, this

should not affect your overwhelming bonerrfic desire to see this. Bill

Lee is the epitome of the useless white ballplayer who is better

remembered for his pranks than his pitching. The only difference

between him and all those other long forgotten victims of the San

Diego Chicken and... uh... victims of Morgana the Kissing Bandit, is

that he was decent enough to be remembered as both a pitcher and a

complete lunatic.

Bill Lee is what baseball was when baseball was baseball. And when

baseball was baseball, baseball was baseball. And Bill Lee was there.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
