It seems like yesterday when NL Umpire John McSherry collapsed on the field during Opening Day 1996 in Cincinnati. He would subsequently pass away. This one hits a little close to home.
I was working a law firm im Yonkers,, NY and we were at a local bar in Riverdale having lunch when he collapsed live on TV. The bartender and some patrons were shocked and got up to use the payphones since McSherry was not only a native of the Bronx, but he was a regular at that exact bar.
When we got back to the office, one of the secretaries asked me what was happening with the game. I told her that an umpire collapsed on the field. She got hysterical and asked if it was "John." We told her that it was indeed John McSherry. She started crying. He lived in her building. Her and her husband Doc were close friends with him. It was truly one of the saddest moments I've beared witness to.
May you continue to Rest in Peace John "Big John" McSherry.

John McSherry Nude 1935
This is the opening track from the CD ‘Tripswitch’ which I recorded with the Uilleann piper John McSherry in 2006. We had great fun making this album in Homestead Studios, Co. Antrim with Shaun ‘Mudd’ Wallace. I learned the march from my father Gerry O’Connor and the last reel was picked up from good friends : the pirates of peurt ‘Daimh’.
