may he rest in peace....

VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Clem Labine, a relief pitcher who threw two of baseball's most significant shutouts in his role as a part-time starter and pitched for two Dodgers World Series championship teams in the 1950s, died Friday. He was 80.

My prayers go out to the family and friends of Mr Labine.

The baby boomers are a little sadder today.

Now I remember why that name was so familiar to me. Quite a few years back (God, probably ten years by now) a company put out this 'Mickey Mantle Collection' of cards. They were about $15 a pack but each pack contained one vintage baseball card from the era that Mantle played in. If you were lucky, you'd pull something like a Mantle card, a Rose rookie, a Ryan rookie, etc. etc. I was never lucky enough to pull a major rookie, but I did pull a few big names. I remember having a Clem Labine card in that stack of commons that I pulled. Below are just four of the cards that I pulled, but I have a ton of other "oldies".
