The Seattle Mariners hire "Squiggy"

I know they are off to a bad start but squiggy as a scout?

LOS ANGELES — They never forget Squiggy.

David Lander pulls his car into the special lot using the yellow badge that says baseball and parks in the closest spot by hanging a blue tag that says handicapped. Grabbing a bag that carries the tools of his job as a scout for the Mariners, he walks slowly to the ballpark with a limp from multiple sclerosis.

The Dodger Stadium gate opens, and he steps straight into 1976.

A man at the press-credential table leaps up to pump his arm with a heavy handshake. Later, an usher will leave her post simply to give him a hug.

Like so many nights at so many major-league stadiums around the country, Lander — better known as Andrew "Squiggy" Squiggman — is in the house.

This is what it's like to be the most annoying television character ever created. Everybody loves you. The Shotz Brewery has been off network television for more than two decades, and episodes of "Laverne and Shirley" are hard to find anymore.

But they remember Shirley lamenting her manless life as her roommate Laverne comforts her by saying, "Don't worry, Shirl, one day your Prince Charming could walk right through that door." At that moment the door opens and Squiggy stands there all mousy, his greasy, black hair squeezed into a point down his forehead and a squeaking voice that sounds like a door in desperate need of oil.

And Squiggy says, "HEHLLO!"
