coryross4: “Paul never washed his underwear, he would just wear new ones once and toss them”,… maybe he had the George Brett pants-shitting problem we heard about in the video.

Paul was a friend of my dads.We lived in Riverside,Ca in the 70′s.Every time The A’s played the Angels.Paul would come to our house for dinner and would stay over now and then.I was in my early teens then.
I can say for fact he was a great guy.The whole neighborhood would be at our house.He always had time for kids.He would leave tickets for us everytime Oakland was in town.We got to sit with the players wives.God what a great set up for me as a kid.
I got to meet Joe Rudi and would sit by Rollie Fingers wife.I was a big time A’s fan then.Paul never washed his underwear he would just wear new ones once and toss them.I remember over hearing my mom say this and thought it was funny.I always remember Paul with a mustache by the way.Thanks Paul for all your kindness I’m sorry to hear you have left us.You are missed.You were a good man!

Ladies and gentlemen we have finally found Conan O’Brien’s father. Of course his mother is the angle-jawed alien, Maria Shriver (now Schwarzenegger).

15. Him having that 'stache in the last photo reminds me of Ned Flanders.

13. Lindblad had a mustache on the Yankees in this baseball card:

Rick Cerone had quite a stache.

12. During the 1980s, Lindblad was the pitching coach at the Double-A ballpark where I grew up going to games. Somewhere I have a picture of my 12-year-old self posing with him at one of those meet-the-players clinics. He's wearing a gigantic mustache.

11. 9 I also gazed for quite a while at those signatures. I love how the earlier year's effort morphs into the also flamboyant but more symmetrical version in the later year. 6 Paul Lynde deserves greater renown. Maybe the voice of Roger the alien on American Dad is part of a trend toward some sort of societal Paul Lynde retrospective.

10. 8 Ennui: You're right about the Yankee facial hair rule. Reggie had a soup strainer, after all, and then of course there was Sparky Lyle's famous walrus. Munson caused a stir by growing a beard once, and after a few days he shaved it when Billy Martin asked him to do so as a favor to him. As for the HTML issue, here's what I found on the Fairpole FAQ post: "How do you make something bold/underline/linked in the comments? To make something bold, surround it with asterisks. To make something underlined, surround it with underlines. To link to comment 31, surround the link number with brackets, like this: 31. That's all you can do, for now. You can't link to another site, you can only post the URL. If you want to post a long URL, please use tinyurl."

9. I was most taken by the signatures on 2 of the 4 cards. While they are different--what's the likelihood that they're even Lindblad's?--their perfect penmanship and showy flourishes on the P, L, and D belie his taciturn facial expressions.
