May 31, 1961: Emile Griffith is a slashing boxer from the Virgin Islands whose waist is so narrow and shoulders so wide that he would have to go to a tailor for his suits even if it weren't the only way he could get a belt in the back that buttons in the middle — and colors to match the silver and gold buckles on his shoes. |

Larry,
Not only did you disappoint me greatly, you also cost me a lunch.
I had a bet with a friend who also follows this blog that when Memorial Day rolled around, you would post the famous 1966 Jim Murray column titled “The 500: Gentlemen, Start Your Coffins.”

@Arthur You should have suggested it. Otherwise you’d have to wait until 2016!
