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?)

The wait is over! Welcome back, James. Yes, well worth the wait. I love the Cather references. Literature rocks!
