O Pioneers!
On this day in 1873, Willa Cather was born in Winchester, Virginia.
A few years back the Braves had a relief pitcher named Mike Cather. I loved making Wila Cather references everytime he pitched. If he got a strikeout, "O Pioneers!" When Bobby Cox would trot out to the mound to take him out of the game, "Death Comes for the Archbishop." Yes, there has never been a limit to how geeky I allow myself to be. Just imagine how bad it would have been if the Braves ever employed James Baldwin.
(This was well worth the wait in between posts, right?)
