Hello, Bristol. It is Wednesday Eve once again. Plan accordingly.  

Weather

78 and unsettled.

On this date

Music

1966: Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention released their debut studio album ‘Freak Out!’

MLB

1973: 50 years ago, David Clyde, 18, a recent graduate of Houston’s Westchester High School, makes his eagerly awaited debut with the Texas Rangers before 35,698, the largest Rangers’ crowd of the year.

Clyde gave up just one hit and struck out eight batters in five innings on the mound, earning the win as the Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-3.

By 1979, he was out of baseball, posting an 18-33 record and an ERA of 4.63.

Bristol

1960: During a ceremony at Bonnies’ Inn, Raymond L. Hanna was appointed president of Bristol’s Exchange Club.

According to a Little Birdie

Not only did Taylor Swift refuse to be interviewed by Meghan Markle on her now-defunct podcast, but so did the TBE’s Jack Krampitz, according to a source.

We have done enough damage for one day. See ya Thursday (maybe), Bristol.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

  • Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
