Happy # 69 to David Clyde
David Clyde was born on Friday, April 22, 1955, in Kansas City, Kansas.
In 1973, 18-year old Clyde made his major league debut with the Texas Rangers. To say the least, Clyde, who had pitched in a high school game a few weeks before, was rushed to sell seats. Sadly, he was out of baseball in 5 years: 18-33 with a 4.67 ERA.
Wonder how different it would have been if Clyde had gone through the minors and brought to the Rangers later? We will never know but my guess is that a hard throwing lefty like Clyde would have succeeded, as a starter or closer.
Sad story.

Happy # 73 Peter Frampton
We say happy birthday Peter Frampton who was born in the UK on this day in 1950
In the summer of 1976, Peter Frampton was on top of the musical world. His double LP "Frampton comes alive" was # 1 on Billboard USA. It sold 6 million copies in the US and a lot more elsewhere.
Rolling Stone Magazine ranks this LP # 41 in the top 50 "live" albums. Frankly, I'm surprised that it ranks that low considering the album's influence on radio.
It featured 3 Top 10 hits: "Baby, I Love Your Way," "Show Me the Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do". The last one was 14 minutes long on the LP version!
Great LP and one of those that you should get on CD for your rock collection.
