Seeing the Gretzkys in attendance to honor Alex Ovechkin's record-breaking goal brought to mind the surprising alliance between Ron & Janet to curb Wayne's smoking.

That story would have also triggered the great GOAT debate about Gretzky and Howe. I can almost hear the conversation between Ron and Keith in my imagination...

Happy Easter I think back to those special Holiday shows!

Happy Easter I think back to those special Holiday shows!

We had a lot of fun with it two years ago, on Ron's last Easter show.

When Mark Wilson appeared on Ron's show, he always made sure to tell us that the Pistons had not won a playoff game since 2008. Ron and all his listeners already knew that because of the many times Mark had mentioned it in previous appearances.

With the Pistons' win last night, Mark will have to find a new obsession.

Thanks, Bobbert(t). What a gold mine this collection is.

After Ron's untimely death, I wonder if Mark had any regrets for sleeping in too late to make an appearance on the last years of Ron's record-breaking reign.

Ron was always an unerring judge of talent.

Cunningham is no Killian Hayes.

Ron would have flipped at that article.

And this commercial confirms Ron's view that Blake Griffin's true calling was in the entertainment world:

Dan Petry just commented on how many school buses are lined up outside Comerica Park for today's game. The team's promotions department must have taken Ron's sage advice.

This recent fundraising event, featuring Mickey Lolich, Mickey Stanley, Willie Horton, Jon Warden, Jack Morris, Lance Parrish, Larry Herndon & John Grubb, would've been fertile ground for Ron.

Nice video. That interview with Mickey Lolich had a nice "Boys of Summer" feeling to it (the Roger Kahn version, not the Don Henley version). It was cool to hear about Johnny Grubb coming in from West Virginia, where I was born and spent lots of time.

I try to think of Ron in that environment, and the cynical part of my personality tries to take over with all kinds of snarky comments. Like Ron saying, "I walked in and everybody stopped what they were doing to greet me."

And the obligatory, "What are you doing here?!" Followed by a round of hugs.

Having issues accessing the Board, Rob from Canton, Ron's would-be medical driver, asked me to post this announcement:

Denny's by the airport closed so Big Al Avila has taken his talents to the Cracker Barrel by the airport. He is heading up the day fryer and decorating baked goods.
