    Nice and handy for not just the Rays but spring training camps of the Pirates and the Orioles.

      Death is always a convenient punchline for the ignorant. I suggest you get a hobby.

      RIP, Randy. I remember you (and Carol) well from the Conservatory – seemingly both a lifetime ago and just yesterday. You accomplished many things in your life and career. You left a mark.

      • V. Lind says:

        RIP very sincerely to Mr. Locke. But it is clear he had a hobby, and I am glad he retired to teaching near a place to enjoy it.
