Otherwise, you would never have known that thing about the Baba Papa. And, you would have been fed some other inanity by some other pop band. My theory is that International Velvet got to three the same other inanity by some other pop band.

He saved the New York Knights, saved Pop, and broke the bad gamblers with one cascade of the stadium lights. The Knights needed an angel desperately. After 116 wins and counting, the Yankees maybe didn't; after the yearlong McGwire-and-Sosa show, baseball maybe didn't either. But there's always room for one more...
