Tony with some "friends" at the Charleyhorse Restaurant in IndianaTony with fellow Hall of Famers Bobby Hull and John Wroblewski aka Johngy. I think Bobby's smiling because John said he'd buy him a nice bottle of wine. I guess it would have taken scotch to get him to stand.

First we'll use Spahn
then we'll use Sain
Then an off day

followed by Sain
And followed
we hope
by two days of rain.
