Astrology and baseball, what a combo. I never knew this existed. Certainly part of the culture back in the 70s. I remember the National Enquirer and halter tops and another astrologer named Jean Dixon (who wrote for the NE). Let it be said that Laurie most likely wore hot pants! I hope this story makes it on Clear the Field. Thanks, Paul.
I bet you're right about that, Meg. A different astrologer who might have been a "name" at that time was Jane Lowe. In April 1976 Lowe did a horoscope for Charlie Finley without being told his identity, just that he owned a sports team. Lowe completely nailed Finley's personality and what was going to happen that year. I was very impressed!
I actually don’t remember too much about her but this definitely gives me an idea. Retirement is boring so I’m gonna order me another’Magic 8 Ball’ as I have no idea where mine was as a 10 year old & I’m gonna call Brian Cashman of the Yankees. After all he gave his daughter two shoes on the YES network so maybe you’ll be seeing me on TV soon Paul.

PS - My Oujja Board must be around somewhere too.
Charlie O. sure drove away a lot of stars - he had a good run for a few years.
