[G-Fafif]

It was a good Don Florence joke. He was my initial guess (I was flummoxed when they let him go after he went, I think, 3-0), but I was thinking, "Did the Mets have a reliever named Gambino?"

[G-Fafif]

Also, my late father's girlfriend of nearly 25 years is named Florence, and I was thinking, "She's not mobbed up."
