Wow bummer. The Outfield were amongst my favorite purveyors of pop rock in the 80's.

Voices of Babylon is a great album.

60? So he was already in his 30s when they hit big. Late bloomer.

Sounds about right. Even at the tender age of 21 I was 5 years too old for most of the females in attendance there.

They should give GORDO another year, because now he cant possibly do well this year.

Year 7 he should start to turn it around and be the guy he was in his first 150 at bats back in 1972
