About 500 former ballplayers do not receive MLB pensions since they retired prior to 1980. However, at least for one, just getting something from the league is good enough.

Hallowed Be His Name
Dear Editor: In movies and on cable television the name of God the Father and the name of Jesus are taken in vain so casually and often times very profanely. A good, and representative example of this on cable TV, is the award-winning “Homeland.”
Fond Memories of Teacher
Dear Editor: It was with deep regret and fond memories that I read in The Tablet of the passing of Mr. Michael Vaccaro, who died on Aug. 18. This gentle man was one of the finest teachers I had in 17 years of Catholic education (kindergarten through college.) Mr. Vaccaro taught World Geography and other subjects at Most Holy Trinity H.S., Williamsburg, during my years of September 1963 through June 1967. He was liked and respected by the entire student body of the school. I have always remembered him as one of the best!
