Man, I was just talking about him the other day with one of my younger players.

Always used to look forward to their games on television. Saw them once in Cincy. They also came to the Mason County Fieldhouse back in the day; that was before my move to Maysville.

 

Meadowlark was the glue for the 'trotters.

Seems like they are always at US Bank Arena on Dec.30th. I wonder if it will be cancelled, or "the show must go on".

 

RIP. A sports icon in a unique manner for sure.

I can vividly recall sitting in the floor watching one of the 3 channels we got back in the day with my grandfather in Pittsburgh, both of us glued to the set. He was so much fun and a great ambassador for the game.

I always enjoyed watching his routines. RIP.
