He managed the 1966 Williamsport Mets, and later his grandson played for the Williamsport Crosscutters. Virdon was an accomplished major league player in his own right.
COVID continues to be our national nuisance, but there is a monster of a menace that is more harmful in the long run than this pesky pandemic.

As I sleepily headed to the kitchen for some breakfast, Jean’s voice from an adjacent room asked, “Do we have any batteries for the TV remote? I think you wore them out yesterday.” Guilty as charged.
