Gallagher was halfway home when Bingham got a hold of the ball. A good throw would have nailed the runner easily. Instead Bingham's errant throw was to the first base side of home and Gallagher slid in to make...

Clarke, Lewis, and Milt, with Percy Heath pickin' bass later went on to form the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ). But, before the group acquired that famous name, it was called the Milt Jackson Quartet (still MJQ). Milt...
