Cutting Edge

We briefly spoke of John Cutter in the last post, but he is yet another veteran in this event who deserves more than a passing mention. Every year there are certain figures roaming the Amazon Room who just stick in your mind, and Cutter is one of them.
Hailing from Montana, he is what one might call "the real deal", and bar riding in on horseback with guns blazing, about as close as we'll get to ever having a genuine cowboy enter an event. He even lives on a ranch!
Sporting a cowboy hat and shirt, he is a constant presence at the Series, and perhaps best known for his partner in crime, Blue, a stunning Australian Shepherd who often accompanies him at the table.
When I asked him how long he'd been playing the World Series, he answered in a thick accent and with a slight smirk, "Fifty years, boy," which although is technically impossible, signifies that he is one of the few players in the building to have predated the World Series.
Now, if only we could get Rutter and Howard "Tahoe" Andrew heads-up, then we'd have a story.
