haven't seem
him around these parts lately. Though, the kids always say they can see his ghost appear from time to time. He never sticks around long enough to do anything notable though so they just ignore it as an old man’s tale. The one about when Howry was a good reliever.
They don't draw pictures on the scorecard.
