Oldest known Angels fan dies
The Angels have lost a fan (HT: Musings)
ANAHEIM ? In her 106 years, Florence Carlton never drank or smoked or had a cup of coffee. But she loved her Anaheim Angels.
Carlton was an avid fan for more than 30 years and kept careful track of player statistics as she caught every game on TV, surrounded by team caps, shirt and, of course, a rally monkey.
When she died on Feb. 9, she was unaware of the flap over the team's name change. Her daughter was afraid it might upset her.
What makes a person hang-on for 106 years? More importantly, without booze and coffee, why would you want to?
