George Kell
"George Kell is an Arkansas legend and a true treasure. The baseball world will remember him as one of the all-time great third basemen and an uncommonly gifted announcer. Arkansas will also remember George's love of his family, his service to this State, and his legacy at Arkansas State University. No matter the heights George reached, he always remembered where he came from, and he called Swifton his home for his entire life."
-- Gov. Mike Beebe

Someone is either cutting onions or it is getting very dusty in here.

The comments are astounding and a hat tip to the online folks at the Detroit Free Press who are doing an especially fine job.
