He may have had faults (who doesn’t?) but I always enjoyed his singing! Fun Fact: Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Mickey Gilley were cousins, all hailing from Ferriday, Louisiana. Swaggart, a televangelist, and Lewis, a rock and roll pioneer, were double first cousins, while Gilley was a first cousin to both.

“Bobby Jenks, a two-time All-Star pitcher for the Chicago White Sox when the franchise won the 2005 World Series, died Friday in Sintra, Portugal, the team announced…”

Gordon Jago. Former head coach of the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the late 70s and early 80s. I had a solo season ticket in the 3rd row at center field and have many, many fond memories of Coach Jago, both outdoor at the old Tampa Stadium and indoor soccer when they played at the Bayfront Center in St. Pete. Good times indeed…
RIP Coach J and thanks for the ride ️🏟
