Hey folks, I have some more info on the Harry Lunte/Catfish Hunter reference. As mentioned, Blake has said that the line is about life moving forward despite tragedies. The connection between the two Major League Baseball players is as follows: Harry Lunte, who pinch hit for the "mortally wounded" Chapman, passed away on 27-July 1965; the same day that Catfish Hunter earned his first win in Major League Baseball. Perhaps this is in reference to that continuity that Blake discussed. Lunte, for lack of a better description, lived on for Chapman. Chapman's legacy lived through Lunte. And when Lunte died, did Catfish pick up Lunte's ... legacy? I don't know, but that death date/first career win date is the connection between the two players. |
