Today's Footnotes

A la HERE:
I'm often fascinated by uber-footnotes in history; either in pictures (ie. who's the woman in the picture they always show kneeling over the body at Kent State?) or otherwise (ie Raymond Jones - to quote Wikipedia: The Beatles had recorded the 'My Bonnie' single with Tony Sheridan in Germany...Epstein's version of the story was that a customer—Raymond Jones—walked into the NEMS shop and asked Epstein for the "My Bonnie" single, which made Epstein curious about the group.") Who are these people? Has anyone ever interviewed them? That should be a whole book, interviews with these footnote people. There's millions of 'em.


Who the fuck are those guys who chased Hank during 715? Never seen them interviewed. I don't even know their names. Camon. Weeks of death threats sent to Aaron, bodyguards with loaded guns at the ready, then during the record-breaking home run a coupla white guys come from outta nowhere chasing him...IN ATLANTA...and nothing happened? It's ended up being a fun, innocent moment of a footnote. But who are these guys?

If you take a close enough look at the picture you can tell that it's Bill and Hilary Clinton. I thought everyone knew that...

Yeah dude, how did these mofos get to Hank? And who are they?

that guy to Hank's right bares a strong resemblance to Bobby Bare Jr.

In an interview Aaron said they are both doctors now.
