Oop. When I see St. Paul mentioned, I gotta check out the news: Souch is not (no longer?) a Roseville resident, but a St. Paul neighbor of mine in Crocus Hill these days. I pass him walking quite frequently - he's walking, I'm riding - and I'm thinking he must live on Osceola Ave. now. I kind of duck to avoid the mean eye as I pass, since we don't see eye to eye on almost anything you can name.
Too bad he's a shirttail cousin. But not to worry, the rivalry is something too many of those "older" guys feed on. And Souch was all but excised from the Tribune's sports pages when he railed against the dome in persistent contravention of the boys upstairs. He wanted to retain the Met much as Dave Moore did.
