Juror No. 5 was an O's fan, even before Camden Yards
Hey, check it out.
I finally made it into Davidoff's Sunday "Pop Quiz" with a tidbit about "12 Angry Men" and baseball.
This is the high point of my career, and as good a point as any to put a bow on September.
I've had one week off in each of the past four months, but naturally I kept October clear for work, what with our local baseball parks getting ready to close and each local team spending zillions to bring home a championship to send out its stadium in style, and . . . oh.
Never mind.

neil.how come your weekly columns have been so spotty the last couple of months?
Juror #5 became a great sportswriter in the early 1970s. I know it because I saw it on television. His roommate was a commercial photographer, if I recall ... and amateur songwriter. "Happy Peppy and Bursting With Love" was his tune.
When Juror #5 changed careers in the 1980s and became a forensic pathologist I knew all hope was lost for sportswriters.
Oustanding Dumont.
And, if I am not mistaken, (at least according to Wikipedia) prior to rooming with that photographer, Juror Nbr 5 once shared a pad with a famous vigilante who later became a Mafia hit man and also spent some time during WWII in jail as a common criminal before joining forces with 11 other cons to wipe out some nasty German officers.
And Juror Nbr 5 went on to marry, and spend a lifetime with, a woman who was rumored to be the mistress and perfect match of a one time WWII German prison camp hero, AND another guy who was once the gigilo of a New England ghost worshipping mother of two who shared a name with the Northern California redwoods.
Things we learn on television that eventually make their way to Watchdog.
Cable guy: Because I spend so much time goofing off doing blog posts.
