In memory of John Updike, the acclaimed master of American letters who passed away this morning at at age of 76, here is a link to the piece of his writing that has most touched me, and that has the most relevance to one of the prime topics of this blog - baseball. Go here to read his famous 1960 essay for The New Yorker about Ted Williams' last baseball game, "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu". And enjoy your new home, Mr. Updike, where there are never any rainouts at Fenway Park.

And all your games at Wrigley may now be in the sunny afternoon. Rest easy, Dave. From a fellow Centre Alum.
Bye, Dave. I wish we'd met face to face but I already knew I liked you.
