I remember listening to the sports huddle with eddie andleman many years ago. I think he closed for some time with goodnight Pumpsie, wherever you are.

RIP Pumpsie.

Before my time, but he appeared by all accounts to have handled his situation here with dignity & grace...a shame he was put in it in the first place...and besides, who couldn't like someone who, along with Gene Conley, got off the team bus during a Bronx traffic jam to seek alternative transportation?

So sorry
