RIP Tony Bennett

I wouldn't call myself a Tony Bennett fan (crooners don't do it for me zzzzzzzzzzzz), other than like anybody else I can't remember a time now knowing his name. And he did always seem like he was having a blast with whatever he was he was doing, which is great. And thanks to the powers of the internet, I can now see that he sang before the very first World Series game for me as a New York Yankees fan after moving to Brooklyn in January of '98.

Happier days, indeed.

So long, Tony!
