RIP Mitch Hedberg

This has nothing to do with baseball and it's been so long since I posted that I suspect few people are still paying any attention to this blog.

I'm not generally a big fan of standup comedy. Not a big enough fan to go out of my way to actually see them in person anyway. Except for Mitch Hedberg. Mitch's comedy was original, hilarious and rare in its ability to find humor without significant reliance on profanity or sex or politics. He made me laugh so hard it hurt. So it hurts that much more that he's gone so prematurely. I don't know how he died, and it doesn't really matter. I'll miss him.

At least I got to see him once.

P.S. more baseball coming soon.
