      I remember him when I was a youth in the 70's. He was probably 3-5 yrs older than the rest of us but we all played softball together, no problem to any of us, considered him a friend. My only worry was that he would smoke our best fastball pitches over the stadium and clear the bases.

    Anyone remember how he got that name? 'Body?' I know when I was growing up we were very scared of him, especially when we heard he was out of prison. His life was a life in prison. Something was not right with him at all.
