Kyle McGonigal Serves as Blyleven Aide

Kyle McGonigal, reporting for annual security duty at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, served as special aide to the family of inductee Burt "Be Home" Blyleven, the former Minnesota Twins curveball specialist.

Kyle was stationed at the tent for Hall of Fame inductees, members and their families and he even pitched in for a "diaper change" and put in time as official Porta Potty escort.  Kyle's status allowed him to work in the shade while his mother Mary McGonigal baked in the sun!
 
Weatherwise, it was among the worst induction weekends ever, as the scorching heat induced the McGonigals to stand around in neck deep water (which, Mary pointed out, was "not even cold water").
It was the hottest day on record in Oneonta at 100 degrees Fahrenheit.  Back there the Corkerys just sat around the house and vegged,  as Kevin was not asked to play drums at the inductees' reception this year.  Just as well!
