Well, What’s Wrong With Some Recycling?

Mark Heisler leads off his article on the Lakers (March 20) by wittily wagging, the Lakers were “so far down they were getting their mail by gopher.”

If he was going to utilize that quote, he should have at least attributed it to its originator, Reggie Jackson. “Mr. October” made that pronouncement years ago. I know, because for years I carried around his witticism in my wallet.
