[NU Sports] Randy Walker, Broadway phenomenon

[Jason Singer]

Too bad he didn't stick around to create any "Traditions!", although one
could think of the '95 and '96 seasons as a "Miracle of Miracles". But, of
course, he decided to find out what life would be like "If He Were a Rich
Man?", so he flew the coop like the "Little Bird" he is. "On the other
hand"...he setup at least the belief that we could win, and for that I say
"L'Chaim, To Life!"

...even if he now can be found wondering around "Anatevka."

And yes, I have WAY too much time on my hands until the MLB starts I earnest
(and also played Tevye many moons ago)!

I went to Clearwater, Florida, this past week for Phillies spring training
and traveled to Bradenton to watch them play the Pirates at their training
complex.  While there, I naturally visited the beer stand which was manned
by several old fellows who had retired to Florida some years back, one of
whom claimed  to have been Randy Walker's teacher in high school.  I
naturally asked about the coach's younger days and was told that he had been
a great fellow and just as good a student.  I then received information that
shows that the coach is a well rounded guy - not speaking in physical terms.
It seems that he was not only a stellar athlete, but he played Tevye in the
school production of Fiddler on the Roof.  I wonder if he knew how prophetic
If I Were a Rich Man was?  
 
Don't know if it's true.  Just repeating what the old fellow said.
