A good bartender is, as they say, “a pharmacist with limited inventory.” In fact, many ingredients used in cocktail began their life as pseudo-medicinal tinctures, and some of them (like bitters in club soda for a tummyache) do seem to have stood the test of time.
The Bullshot is an excellent example of the restorative potential of a cocktail. Made with good stock (homemade stock or consommé are lovely), plenty of hot sauce, and served warm, it makes a potent spirit-reviver in the coldest days of winter or the longest days of a nasty flu.

Oldest MLB player turns 100: Roomed with Yogi Berra, stymied Ted Williams
By Daniel Brown
Apr 19, 2024

SONOMA, Calif. — There were no radar guns in Art Schallock’s day, and even if there were, the soft-throwing lefty knows he would have barely registered a blip. At 5-foot-9, 155 pounds, the New York Yankees pitcher got by on guile.
“I was sneaky,’’ Schallock said Monday.
But now, at very long last, the crafty lefty is about to hit triple-digits. Schallock turns 100 this month, a milestone day for the oldest living former Major League Baseball player.
And here inside this senior living center, where Schallock is the resident celebrity, they’re about to throw the party of his century. “Oh, it’s the big buzz,’’ said Wendy Cornejo, the executive director of the Cogir on Napa Road. “It’s all about Artie’s party.”
Schallock was born on April 25, 1924. Elsewhere that day, Babe Ruth hit a three-run home run against the Red Sox, while Wally Pipp played first base (Lou Gehrig’s epic Iron Man streak had yet to begin). Over in Philadelphia, “The Big Train” Walter Johnson lost a 2-1 decision to the Athletics.
So began Schallock’s lifelong connections to baseball’s gods. When he got called up for his major-league debut on July 16, 1951, the Yankees made room on the roster by optioning to Triple-A Kansas City a disappointing rookie named Mickey Mantle. They would joke about the absurdity of that transaction for years. And Mantle exacted his playful revenge, in 1955 when Schallock was with the Orioles, by hitting a home run that has yet to come down. The Mick smiled his way around the bases. “Jeez, he could hit that ball,” Schallock said.
Art Schallock pitched in the majors from 1951 to 1955, time enough to play on three World Series champions for the Yankees. (National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum) :
Schallock’s first roommate on the road? The Yankees paired him with Yogi Berra, counting on the veteran catcher to share some wisdom with the rookie about how to attack hitters around the league. Schallock still marvels over how Berra knew the weaknesses of every American League hitter as well as who didn’t have one. “Once in a while he’d come across somebody and just say, ‘Hold them to a single,’” Schallock said with a laugh.
Berra got something out of the pairing, too.
“Yeah, when I roomed with him, the first thing in the morning, I had to run down to the lobby to get funny papers for him,’’ Schallock said, laughing again. “Hell, I didn’t know a thing about comic books, but he’d say, ‘Go down and pick up a half-a-dozen comic books.’”
With Schallock, as with some trees, you can calculate the age by counting the rings. He helped the Yankees win three consecutive World Series starting with his rookie season of 1951. For this interview, the facility adorned the walls of a conference room with photos from his Yankees days. By his side were the commemorative bats from those World Series winners and at one point he studied the names engraved on the 1953 model and began reading off royalty like roll call.
“Whitey Ford … Vic Raschi … Phil Rizzuto … Casey Stengel, oh, he was a great manager,’’ Schallock said. “He was a smart guy when it came to baseball. Half the time he’d be asleep on the bench and Frank Crosetti would run the ballclub.”
The golden names just keep coming. Though Schallock made just 58 appearances while shuttling between the big club and Triple-A from 1951 to 1955, he had time enough to play alongside eight Hall of Fame teammates — Berra, Mantle, Rizzuto, Ford, Joe DiMaggio, Johnny Mize and Enos Slaughter with the Yankees; and rookie third baseman Brooks Robinson with the Orioles.
On the mound, Schallock faced 14 future Cooperstown residents. Let the record reflect that Ted Williams was 0-for-2 against him.
“I threw him fastballs, but never threw it as a strike. He’d kill me!” Schallock said. “I changed speeds with him. But he did knock the first baseman down one time. Tore the glove right off his hand. He picked it up and threw him out.”
Schallock’s voice is strong and his memories are vivid, as even his bygone minor-league tales hold up to fact-checking. But beyond that and his sense of humor, not all of his health is so robust. “I can’t see. I can’t hear. I’m falling apart!” he cracked.
Schallock took over the distinction of oldest living ballplayer when the aptly named George Elder died on July 7, 2022, at the age of 101. By the time of Schallock’s 100th birthday, he will have been the oldest living former major leaguer for 659 days.
“Is that right?’’ Schallock said. “Well, I’ll be darned.”
The next two players behind him are also undersized pitchers. Schallock is 131 days older than Bill Greason (a 5-10, 170-pound right-hander) and 519 days older than Bobby Shantz (5-6, 139-pound left-hander).
This has meaning to Schallock, who cites his stature when asked what makes him most proud about his baseball career. On Aug. 15, 1951, the New York Times described him as “the diminutive southpaw from the Coast” in a story headlined “Schallock Subdues Senators, 5-3, For Sweep of Series by Bombers.”
“I thought I had two strikes against me because of my size,’’ Schallock said Monday. “But I made it. I mean, you can’t get any higher than the Yankees, world’s No. 1 team.”
When asked to describe his pitching repertoire, Schallock talked about his fastball and a big breaking ball “like that left-hander from the Giants.” As he racked his brain for the name, it hits that his lifespan opens a wide range of possibilities — Carl Hubbell? Johnny Antonelli? Vida Blue? Barry Zito?
“Bumgarner,’’ he finally said, referring to the 2014 World Series MVP.
There are countless wonderful ways to fathom Schallock’s longevity. Also born in 1924 were iodized table salt, ready-to-use Band-Aids, Kleenex tissues, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Washburn’s Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flakes (known today as Wheaties).
Baseball researcher and historian Bill Chuck, who unearthed many of the statistical gems for this story, noted that Babe Ruth hit 240 homers before Schallock was born and another 474 after.
Schallock’s favorite baseball player growing up was outfielder Lefty O’Doul, who last played in the majors in 1934. O’Doul was from San Francisco and Schallock was born and raised about 15 miles north, in the Marin County city of Mill Valley.
O’Doul spent the latter part of his post-MLB career playing for the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League, and Schallock wanted to be just like him.
Alas, the admiration was not mutual.
“When I grew up, I wanted to play with Seals,’’ Schallock said. “But O’Doul scouted me and said I was too small.”
Art Schallock’s milestone birthday party will be met with much fanfare. The CBS Evening News is dispatching a camera crew. (Wendy Cornejo / Cogir on Napa Road)
Instead, Schallock took the backroads to his improbable career. He was a star at Tamalpais High School when, as a senior in 1942, he registered for the draft. By 1943, he was taken into the Navy — and his baseball career was put on hold while he served as a radio operator on the USS Coral Sea during World War II.
Schallock was discharged in 1946, having received 11 battle stars. Not long after returning home, he went on a blind date with a woman named Dona Bernard. It seemed to work out OK. They were married for 76 years until Dona’s passing last year at age 97.
She died on Art’s 99th birthday. They had two children and five grandchildren.
“They were amazing together. A true life-long love right there,’’ Zach Pascoe, one of the grandchildren, wrote in an email. “They were best friends. They truly enjoyed being in each other’s company, and as partners, they were even stronger. They complemented each other perfectly. They knew when to give each other space and when to be right there for each other.”
The Dodgers signed Schallock in 1946, and his career of rubbing elbows with legends was underway. His first manager at Class-A Pueblo (Col.) in 1947 was Walter Alston.
In 1948, he made his debut with the Triple-A Montreal Royals by relieving the great Don Newcombe on a team that also included Duke Snider, at age 21. The first baseman of that team was Chuck Connors, who later made a name for himself as the star of the “Rifleman” television franchise.
Maybe that brush with a future actor prepared him for life for the Hollywood Stars, where Schallock played in 1949. That team’s celebrity stockholders included the likes of Cecil B. DeMille, Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.
The fans were famous, too.
“Well, every homestand, Groucho Marx was there,’’ Schallock recalled. “He had a box in back of home plate. There were six seats in it, but he would only occupy one. … He was a neat guy.”
Dona cherished this time of their lives. “My wife loved Hollywood — rubbing elbows with all the movie stars,’’ Schallock said.
She was less keen at the time regarding the pecking order of the baseball universe. So Dona had a curious response when Hollywood Stars manager Fred Haney summoned her from the stands midway through a game in July 1951 to tell her that Art had just been traded to the New York Yankees.
“And my wife said, ‘Who in the hell are the New York Yankees?”’ Schallock said. “Fred Haney just about fell off the chair laughing.”
Schallock had his high moments in the major leagues. He threw three complete games and amassed a career record of 6-7 with a 4.02 ERA.
Though he played for three World Series teams, he appeared in only one Fall Classic. In 1953, with the Yankees trailing late in Game 4, he pitched the final two innings and gave up one run. And, as was his custom, he left with a story to tell. The first five batters he faced were Jackie Robinson, Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella, Duke Snider and Carl Furillo.
His favorite baseball memory, though, had nothing to do with the superstars in his midst.
“The height of my career was just walking into Yankee Stadium,’’ he said. “I thought it was a thrill just to be on the mound.”
Schallock will get the chance to tip his cap to the crowd at least one more time, at his 100th birthday celebration on April 25.
Staffers at Cogir on Napa Road will wear Yankees jerseys as they transform the parking lot into a mini-ballpark, complete with concession stands hawking popcorn and hot dogs.
Sonoma mayor John Gurney will present Schallock with a certificate saluting his centenarian status. The slightly younger players from the Sonoma High School baseball team will attend. CBS Evening News is dispatching a camera crew. There will be a live band.
“He’s just humble,’’ said Cornejo, the director of the facility. “And he loves baseball. It’s just an honor to be able to celebrate a living legend.”
Schallock wasn’t the hardest thrower, but it’s easy to see now what made the zip on his fastball so special. It had late life.

Luxurious in the end result but not in process, this quick, one-pot pasta features crisp shards of salty prosciutto, soft pillows of tortellini and bright pops of sweet peas in a silky lemon cream sauce. The dish is inspired by pasta alla papalina, a more delicate carbonara that uses prosciutto instead of guanciale and Parmesan instead of Pecorino. While pasta alla papalina often uses long noodles, this dish uses tortellini and cooks them right in the broth and heavy cream: No waiting for a pot of water to boil, and the starch from the pasta helps the half-and-half thicken into a sauce. Serve alongside an arugula salad or seared asparagus. You can use bacon instead of prosciutto, which will add some smokiness.
INGREDIENTS
Yield:
4 servings
1½tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
4slices prosciutto (about 2 ounces)
1shallot, finely chopped
16 to 20ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
2cups (10 ounces) frozen peas (no need to thaw)
1cup chicken broth
1cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Salt and black pepper
Zest and juice of ½ lemon (about 1½ teaspoons zest plus 1 ½ tablespoons juice)
PREPARATION
Step 1
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium. Add the prosciutto in a single layer and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Press occasionally with a spatula to ensure even crisping and reducing the heat as necessary if the fat begins to smoke. Transfer the prosciutto to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
Step 2
To the skillet, add the shallot and cook over medium until softened, 2 to 4 minutes, adding about ½ tablespoon butter if the pan is dry. Add the tortellini, peas, chicken broth, heavy cream and nutmeg (if using) and season with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and peas are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. (The sauce will thicken as it cools.) Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon zest and juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Crumble the prosciutto on top.

You can use whole chicken breasts or thighs in the recipe by nuking them first about 3 minutes a side then cooking them off on the grill. Pre-cut cutlets are seldom on sale whereas I bought a 10 lb bag of chicken qtrs for .59 cents a pound last week then cut up the legs and thighs and froze them.
Same thing with chicken breasts which I wait for sales.
I make a lot of chicken recipes with rosemary and lemons.

In this recipe, which Pierre Franey brought to The Times in 1992 in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns, two teaspoons of lemon zest are added to a simple sauce of lemon juice, thyme, garlic and shallots. It is, at once, lively and elegant. To round it out, it needs a sturdy accompaniment. Mr. Franey suggested mashed potatoes with garlic and basil, with just a little olive oil swirled in.

They actually make bouillon in a granulated form as well which is much easier to dissolve.
I cooked a meal last night where I had to fry up some Prosciutto. My wife asked what it was? I quickly responded, over-priced bacon. lol.
That's easy for you to say considering your position in the standings. Considering last week's carnage I'm lucky to still be in positive territory.

KEY POINTS
Trump Media has warned the Nasdaq market of ‘potential market manipulation’ of the company’s DJT stock by “naked” short selling of shares.
The warning came as Trump Media has offered shareholders detailed instructions on how to avoid someone loaning out their DJT shares to short sellers.
Former President Donald Trump owns nearly 60% of Trump Media shares.
The paper value of his stake has dropped by billions of dollars since DJT began public trading last month.

I doubt either Janice or you have seen a Rangers game at MSG or you would both know what Blue refers to regarding the Rangers.
(or, as Janice calls them, the Maple Leaves).
Good grief. She really needs to stick to what she knows.
Leiter was pitching ok until his CF lost a ball that should have been caught. At that point the catcher really should have gone out to settle him down but didn't. Leiter then proceeds to give up the tying run.

Judge went 1-5 but the last one was the one that counted. Nice win.
Volpe the hero of the game with an incredible 6-3 to end the game.
And Torres can borrow Judge's dog. He'd probably make a better fielder.
Judge needs to bring his dog to the plate to help him see the ball. The way he yanks his head off the plate is not pretty.
