Just a side story regarding Mr. Friend:
At the beginning of the season, I sent a card to Mr. Friend as well as an index card. My dad grew up in West Virginia and followed the Pirates very closely. I asked Mr. Friend if he could please sign the card for me and personalize the index card for my dad. He sent back very quickly (within a week or so) and penned the nicest note to my dad on the index card! Unfortunately, I lost my dad on August 21 but Mr. Friend allowed us to share some great stories and relive some forgotten moments!
Mr. Friend will always be held in the highest esteem by me, as will Mr. Roy Face! Both of these gentlemen are wonderful people!
