Dies happy, presumably:
Born December 1, 1890, Hale last month watched his lifelong favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, win the World Series again after 86 years. (Link)
The freaky thing for me, I think, is that he was older than me when the Sox won in 1918. Oh, and that he was boogie-boarding at 95. I guess with a last name like “Hale” you can’t go wrong.
