For those of us old enough to have seen Mickey Mantle hit home runs, you may remember Carl Ballantine of \"McHale\'s Navy\" fame, who died recently at 92.

\"He is survived by a sister, Esther Robinson, of Chicago, and two daughters, whom Mr. Ballantine, an inveterate horse player, named for his favorite racetracks: Saratoga Ballantine, of Hollywood, and Molly Caliente Ballantine, of Pacific Palisades, Calif.\"

Guess they were happy he wasn\'t partial to Finger Lakes. RIP.
