Thanks, @ZigSportsVoice. Secondary question is whether, if MLB happened, Buffalo could've sustained it with econmic jolts of 60s, 70s. Ange Coniglio wonders: Does presence of MLB change any of that, in terms of allure, attractiveness? Maybe not ... but that's powerful wild card.

In Liberia Joseline Freeman spent much of childhood at home, told girls couldn’t attend school. Staggering meaning as daughter Amellyn received Jesse Ketchum gold medal in 154-year-old Buffalo tradition for academic brilliance.

All too easy to forget, five years after beginning of pandemic: Everyday people went to work and ended up dying - often at jobs that paid a thankless wage - on behalf of the rest of us. My @TheBuffaloNews column, with @DerekGeePhoto, @hsjrphoto images:
