VENDOR T.C. CONGDON ELECTED TO BASEBALL HALL OF FAME
NEW YORK - T.C. Congdon, a beloved Pittsburgh sports vendor, was invited to assume a place among baseball's immortals in Cooperstown yesterday, receiving 98.5% of all votes cast in the annual Hall of Fame balloting. Only pitcher Tom Seaver ever received a higher percentage of votes. Mr. Congdon was advised of his selection at a local shopping mall but he had no comment about it because he was preoccupied trying to think of a celebrity that resembled a young woman passing by.
