    Jokester Klein mined gold in Minoso’s sore body parts By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, August 8, 2017 Robert Klein loves self-generated sound effects and body English em- phasis in his comic act. But like the veteran pitcher nearing 40, the 75-year-old jokester can't summon his vintage fastball when he needs it. In this case, reviving his old Minnie Minoso on-stage thread. “I did a routine about him holding the record being hit by pitched balls,” Klein said of the late, fearless White Sox great. “So I made up a fictitious (slapping) noise for being hit by a Robert Klein once had Minnie Minoso as a sound- pitch. I can’t do that noise anymore of effects, body English part of his act. a ball being hit. My tongue won’t op- erate like that. “When I did the routine, it was Chicago (tongue slap), St. Louis (tongue slap), and each time I’d get hit in the head. His (HBP) record was broken by Ron Hunt. I said they’d meet once a year together and show two goofy guys who were hit in the head too many times.” Klein then followed Minoso to the end of his career…whenever. “It was a nice gesture when the Sox brought him back for technically a fifth decade (1980),” he said. “A guy like him, he could have made his debut earlier (if not for the col- or line).” Klein did not channel Minoso from second-hand information. He watched Minnie in his Sox prime in the 1950s at Yankee Stadium, his home away from home in his native Bronx.

    Alex Gallardo Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography Eyes on the Ball April 11 through May 20, 2011 An exhibition of photographs Miller Hall, University of La Verne Photographer’s Statement My start in photojournalism began with a slide show program during a beginning photo class at the University of La Verne. It was presented by a well-known photojournalist at the The Sun in San Bernardino, Tom Kasser. His work opened my eyes. Once I had seen what he could do with a camera, it brought me to see, and not just look, at the world around me. Kasser gave me a goal to strive for, to work at The Sun as a staff photographer. Through my undergraduate career I learned the mechanics of the craft. As a lifetime baseball player I already had the competitive gene so I redirected my passion for athletics toward photography. I took a detour in my quest to be a photojournalist after graduating from ULV. A huge mistake cost me thirteen months of my professional life, and almost the use of my legs. I drove a dump truck backwards over a cliff, spent three months in a hospital and at home in a body cast recuperating from injuries. I spent another nine months in physical therapy learning to walk. Doctors told me that I might not regain the use of my legs or walk without assistance for least five years, if ever. Luckily, I had a great physical therapist. We worked hard every day and prayed to regain the use of my legs. Once I began to walk doctors cleared me to continue as a photographer and stay away from driving trucks.
