This is fantastic.
When Lon Simmons passed away last month, this site kind of biffed it. I wanted to pour my heart out, to write a fitting tribute to someone who clearly meant so much to the Giants' organization. It wouldn't have been honest, though. I didn't grow up listening to Simmons. I came of age in the era when almost every game was on TV, so my interactions were limited. Writing about what Simmons meant to me as a young fan would have been a lie.
I'm still bummed about the lack of coverage here, though.
