Ann Turner Cook, who became the original Gerber baby nearly a century ago, has passed at 95. Cook was only 5 months old in 1928 when her mother’s neighbor drew a charcoal sketch and submitted it to Gerber’s baby food marketing contest.

While at the Hay Festival, Jimmy Page told the crowd that he was approached about doing a Led Zeppelin hologram concert. He said the idea “didn’t really get moving” because he and his bandmates, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, couldn’t agree on it While he suggested that he thought a Led Zeppelin virtual tour “could work” Page was critical of so much technology used in the music industry, saying music videos “shut down” many bands. Page did add that he appreciates the tech that has allowed so many to create home studios to put their music on the internet.
Original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony says an Eddie Van Halen tribute “hinges on” drummer Alex Van Halen. Anthony said, “I spoke with him and Dave Lee Roth last year about a possible something… and we basically just had kind of a conference call about having a conference call to discuss it, and then that other call didn’t happen for whatever reason on their end.” He added that the project wouldn’t be a tour but rather a “memorial at a venue.” Anthony said the memorial depends on Alex, explaining “He’s gotta be the person, really, that wants to do this and give his blessing to the whole thing for it to move forward… He’s still healing. And if it gets to that point, I’m sure Alex will be the first one that’ll wanna do something like that.” The bassist asks all of us to keep our expectations low, because “At this point, I’ve gotta tell you, I don’t know if anything will ever happen. Alex is — he’s really hurting.”
MARIAH CAREY’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is almost 30 years old so its about time someone got around to suing her over it. His name is Andy Stone . . . although he’s better known as Vince Vance from everyone’s favorite country-pop band Vince Vance and the Valiants. The group released a song called “All I Want for Christmas Is You” back in 1989, five years before Mariah did it. Now, there’s nothing similar in the lyrics or the melody of the two songs. But Stone feels that Mariah’s song exploited his “popularity and unique style,” and caused confusion with his track. He also notes that his version received “extensive airplay” during the 1993 Christmas season. I guess he’s suggesting that Mariah’s version crushed his when it came out the following year. He’s seeking at least $20 million in damages (LINK)

Last night it took some extra baseball – but after 11 innings the Cardinals picked up the 5 to 3 win against the Cubs. Juan Yepez hit a go-ahead single in the 11th to give the Cards the 4-3 win and an insurance run was added to give them the 5-3 lead and the win. Cards are now in Tampa for a game against the Rays. First pitch is scheduled for 6:10 tomorrow….Dakota Hudson gets the start.
Down five in the ninth inning to the Mets, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts didn’t want to waste any more of his relievers, so he sent outfielder Zach McKinstry in to pitch. However, that is not allowed. By rule, a team must be down by at least six runs to use a position player as a pitcher. Mets manager Buck Showalter caught it before he threw a pitch, and after checking with the replay review center, the umpires forced Roberts to bring in a regular pitcher. MLB instituted this rule before the 2020 season as a way to avoid teams giving up on games that were still somewhat in reach. More teams have been willing to use position players as pitchers while bullpens have been both deeper and used more frequently to fight shorter starts.
We could have a first team punch their way to the Stanley Cup Final tonight as the Avs look to knock out the Oilers. Colorado is up 3-0 in that series and Game 4 is tonight. Puck drop is at 7PM.

So Wayne Gretzky got traded to the Kings in the 1988 offseason. That previous season, he won their 4th of 5 Stanley Cups. That jersey just sold at auction for an incredible $1.452 million. It was the most ever paid for a hockey jersey. The uniform top was worn during the controversial Game 4 of the 1988 Stanley Cup finals against the Boston Bruins. With less than four minutes to go in the second period, with the score tied at 3 and Edmonton up 3-0 in the series, the electricity at the Boston Garden went out. The game was called and replayed from the beginning two days later; the Oilers won 6-3 to clinch the Cup. In the same auction, Gretzky’s gloves from the same Stanley Cup-clinching game sold for $204,162.
Speaking of jerseys….Memorabilia of the late Kobe Bryant still commands top dollar. Over the weekend, a jersey Kobe wore during the 1997 NBA Playoffs sold for $2.73 million at auction.
