Meadowlark Passes

Meadowlark Lemon died Sunday. One of my favorite television specials growing up was the yearly broadcast of a Harlem Globetrotters game. Lemon was the star and a magician with the ball.

He chased referees with a bucket and surprised them with a shower of confetti instead of water. He dribbled above his head and walked with exaggerated steps. He mimicked a hitter in the batter’s box and, with teammates, pantomimed a baseball game.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
