Earl,
I'll always remember you jawing and joking in my ears while I would be behind the plate calling a game. No matter what you said, I always appreciated the way you kept it a GAME and made sure I knew that you did instead of taking it way too seriously like most people do these days.
You'll definitely be missed, Earl, especially by your family. I know that for sure.
