good of Coach to make it to 86 if he spoke about rolling kegs at 85
Good timing, indeed.
When I was in law school in Tallahassee, about 8-years after high school, I read about Coach Timmerman, still coaching my good old Hempstead Mustangs in Dubuque. He (or someone for him) spray painted a chicken golden the night before the Mustangs played the Wahlert Golden Chickens, I mean Eagles, and his players chased the chicken to fire up for the game. 
I am thinking PETA made it national news. But, notwithstanding anyone's thoughts about PETA, it wasn't the best look. It highlights Coach Timmerman's ability to be a great motivator, nevertheless. What high school guy would not think I gotta catch that chicken (an almost impossible task in my limited agrarian experience), and those damned land-based Golden Eagles.

"People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come."
