John Brattain Passes Away

No More Laughs From John

This isn't April Fools. He's not going to pop up anymore with a line.

John Brattain was a witty man who posted over at BTF and Baseball Primer before that. He was always ready with a funny line and would sign off his posts with "best regards John". His distinct style was remarkable in that his wit was accompanied by charm and generosity. He was probably one of my favorite posters. He also contributed regularly to The Hardball Times. The news come as a rude shock. He was a Toronto Blue Jays fan and was always keen to share his insight.

I'm going to miss this internet luminary. :(

RIP John.
