Our Fish Fry tour this past Friday took us to the American Serbian Club on Sarah Street on the South Side. This Fish Fry benefits St. Suva Orthodox Church, home parish of our friends and neighbors, George and Barb Topich. This is the fourth year in a row we have gone to this Fish Fry, and it is another good one. One thing that separates this one from other Fish Fries? There is a bar in the Serbian Club, so I was able to wash down my fish sammich with a cold Iron City Beer. Hard to imagine being able to get an Iron City on the Sahsside, but there you are.

To Absent Friends. Ralph Wilson, owner of the Buffalo Bills passed away this past week at the age of 95. Wilson's death is noteworthy because he was the last remaining founding owner of the American Football League, which began operations in 1960. In that sense, Wilson was the last of a pioneering bunch.
RIP Ralph Wilson.
Wilson's death comes in a week when the family of Bills Hall of Fame quarterback, Jim Kelly, is experiencing a relapse of cancer, and that the cancer is "aggressive and spreading".
A sad week for football fans in general and Bills fans in particular.

While I no longer participate in the North Park League of Fantasy Baseball, I do still attend and help out with the annual draft by league members. It is a way to keep in touch with the guys and have a fun night out. The Draft was held this past Friday Night, and just for fun, here is how the order in first round of selection went by the ten teams in the NPL:
Mike Trout
Miguel Cabrera
Andrew McCutchen
Clayton Kershaw
Paul Goldschmidt
Hanley Ramirez
Chris Davis
Robinson Cano
Adam Wainwright
Joey Votto
