Layana, Bean, McAnany

"When I walked into my room in the freshman dorm, a friendly giant greeted me.  Tim Layana was a strapping right-hander who'd been drafted by the Chicago White Sox out of Loyola High.  He had followed the advice of his uncle, former major leaguer Jim McAnany.. He was your typical athlete, seemingly without a care in the world.. Tim was a man among boys.  While Tim was class clown and team cutup, I became "Mother Bean," as he liked to call me" (Billy Bean, p. 31,32)
