Hats Off To Hagan York

Another purpose of this blog, which I failed to mention in a previous post, is to recognize those in our community who are doing good things. We here at Cooperstown are not just about pointing out the stupid and rediculous people, but also the decent and reputable ones as well. That's why why I have decided to continue the "Hats off to (insert name)" series. Previously, only Taylor Wherle had been given this particular honor, but there are plenty more. Tonights honoree: the one and only Hagan York.

What can we say of good old Hagan? Some words come to mind: eccentric, lively, fun-loving, outgoing, bright, humurous, extroverted, adorable. These are all certain thing we love about him. Unfortunatley, it takes more than that to achieve a Cooperstown "Hats off" award.

So why did choose Hagan as a recipient for this award? You deserve to know. Here are some of the reasons that I had:

1) No matter where you are or who you are with, you are always going to get the same Hagan. I have not seen his persona to impress anyone . That is a quality that I really admire in a person, and was the determining factor in his recieving this award.

2) He is very easy to talk to, and one of the most enjoyable-to-listen to people that I have ever met.

3) He is not afraid to speak up in tough discussions, as is evidenced by his comments during Bible study.

4) He is just fun to be around.

These are just the main reasons why Hagan should recieve this award. However, since I know most of you enjoy short posts, I will keep it brief. So hats off to you, Hagan York, for all that you have made of yourself. Enjoy your moment of glory. And, in honor of Hagan, I have a special edition of here's what you did, involving the one and only Bill Meck, chief meteorologist over at WLEX-18 TV, and implementer of the almighty MaxTrack Doplar Radar, the most powerful force in all the universe, rivaled only by God himself.

So I was watching he channel 18 news the other night, when the weather came on. The previous story had been about some wrestler or something. So when the anchors went to Bill Meck for the weather, and the cameras cut to him in front of the MaxTrack, the first words out of his mouth are "Watcha gonna do, brother, Meckster brings you the weather forecast! Sorry, I just had to make a quick Hulk Hogan reference there." No joke, I'm not making this up.

HERE'S WHAT YOU DID BILL MECK: Someone did a story about a wrestler in a previous segment, so when it was time for the weather you said "Watcha gonna do, brother, when the Meckster brings you the weather forecast!". In front of thousands and thousands of people. Thats what you did.
