RIP “Starvin” Marvin, I feel comfortable saying that the likes of you will never be seen on a softball field again. From carrying your entire life savings in your wallet, to challenging every team we played in the championship to play a game where the winner takes all. I’m just glad I never had to hit against you…The greatest carpet ball pitcher to ever put on a glove.
