Shaggy, I hope so ... when have you seen me attacking people for their views. I'm always defending myself from attacks. But I would be the first to admit I'm far from perfect and am overly sensitive.
Qman, so far as the veracity. What would cause me to dig up Clifford Ray? I mean he was a good ballplayer, for sure. But he isn't someone that is on the tip of our tongues. By the way, did you know he and Jerry were roommates? I didn't. I did know that Jerry roomed with Norm Van Lier for a while, I believe. If you doubt me, PM me and I'll tell you what city I saw Clifford Ray, then you can look him up and see if he actually lives there. I did ask if he lives here and he said yes. Sure, no insight, but it was interesting to learn from someone who is probably a good friend ... he actually talked to him about Matthews, so they keep in touch ... what Jerry really thinks.
