Since this is already out somewhere in the media, I will share with you a
quick story from post-game last night that I normally might not have.

In the locker room after the game, Coach Huggins took a minute to ask Taron
Barker if he knew who Wally Pipp was.  Taron did not know but Huggs told
him to look it up and find out.

I understand that Taron has since done so and he understands the relevance
of the message.
