These unique shirts Mush seems to favor are a popular style of football jersey in 1941, and number 42 is most closely identified with Sid Luckman of the Chicago Bears -- a club which counts Frank Willard among its fans. (The most famous man ever to wear Number 42 in any sport wore 28 last season at UCLA, and won't don 42 for another six years -- but to us in 2021 it's understandably startling to see it suddenly pop up in this context. I know it took me aback for a moment.)
The Chicago Bears; even after two cups of coffee and omelet with toast, it is difficult to focus through
tear streaked eyes since Hu Shee, singed sweetness, so lovely angelic and all has set aflame thoughts
so depressing as mere mundane matters such as the ineptitude exhibited field and sidelines.
Related sartorial issues pale beside our pearl. I deliberately avoided 67*AM The Score and all banality
baseball this morning; no longer even look at the Chicago Tribune or Sun Times sports page,
and will instead focus pocus more scholastic pursuit. Not really, of course, but lingering New Year resolve
shines bright hopeful promise. Sid Luckman is a blast from the past. Thanks for posting.
