Re: Ron Cameron

It seem like Ron Cameron and factual errors go hand in hand. So sad to hear the news Flaco the Owl died crashing into Trump Towers. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/24/us/new-york-owl-escape-flaco-death/index.html An update on Flaco the Owl, who died crashing into Trump Towers: Bronx Zoo veterinary path...

Re: Ron Cameron

A team struggling mid-season that then got hot, before overtaking Toronto’s daunting lead that last week. All culminating in that nail-biting shutout (1-0) by Frank Tanana the last game of the regular season to beat the Blue Jays & win the AL East. Yeah, not even the great letdown of losing to the ...

Re: Ron Cameron

I attended all three of those Toronto games at the end of the '87 season. It was the purest, most intense baseball experience of my life. That Saturday game, with those late afternoon shadows, Jack Morris and Mike Flanagan battling it out, lives in my memory like a Currier and Ives print. What grea...

Re: Ron Cameron

The Sports View Today videos that I've watched have included several that relate to the 1987 Detroit Tigers season. That's my version of Ron's 1961 Tigers—my favorite Tigers team that didn't win the World Series. What a great summer, watching them fight it out with the Toronto Blue Jays up to the v...

Re: Ron Cameron

Actually (to use Alex's favorite word), the profits at the Fenton Hotel and the Southfield Ram's Horn might increase because of the bartered free meals that they don't have to serve to Ron anymore. This led me to think of a couple of other verbal tics from Ron's universe: “Yeah, I know” - Cowboy “I...

Re: Ron Cameron

Greg Kampe's only been the coach for 38 years. Maybe in a few years Ron will meet him. After last night's big win by Oakland University, I wondered if Ron ever met or interviewed the coach Greg Kampe. It doesn't look like he did, from this post from two years ago. That was one example of so many lo...

Re: Ron Cameron

Ron's post-death history may form the basis for the long-imagined Ron Cameron: The Musical, a repository for the many satirical numbers this thread has spawned. When the composer David Yazbek approached his “Band’s Visit” collaborator David Cromer in 2019 about directing “Dead Outlaw,” a high-energy...

Re: Ron Cameron

While his burial disposition remained outstanding (&, for all we know, may still now), I wonder if Ron chalked it up to there not being anyone who wants to work anymore. Something about extended unemployment benefits.

Re: Ron Cameron

On this monthiversary I still cannot bring myself to cast off my Yellow Pages (or my baseball trivia questions, for that matter). In some alternative universe, I'm thinking there must be another one-man operation in need of a 2023 copy of the Oakland South Central Yellow Pages.

At the one month anniversary of Ron's death, here is a parody of a song made famous by Bob Hope, one of Ron's neighbors during the 1990s (https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49112&start=16815#p741300).

I wonder if The Ghost of Ron Cameron has teamed up with The Ghost of Al Capone at The Fenton Hotel?
If so, I can imagine the ghost of Capone saying, “Who’s this putz thinking he can horn in on my territory?!”

Re: Ron Cameron

Watching the pistons as they are playing the heat. They just panned to family friend Erik Spostra, With all the local coaches, managers & executives Ron acknowledged never meeting, I was always dubious of his oft-told story about chatting up the Miami Heat coach who was surprised someone remembered...
