Look at David Nied! Just look at him!
David Nied is playing a boy’s game in a god’s country! Is that a cowhide baseball or a frosty snowball, both totems to a lad’s insouciance! The promises of youth! The crisp air in one’s lungs! The ball taking determined flight from the determined hands of a Young Man of America! Who cares if his paymasters will force him to pitch in Mile High Stadium! David Nied, Young Man of America, can do this!
This is Vic Tayback’s grave:

Because I was apparently quite bored at work, I looked into the story of David Nied. What I found was the multitude of talent spilling out of the Dallas suburb of Duncanville.
First off, let’s talk some Nied. A graduate of Ducanville High, where he attended school with Heather Cranford. Cranford is a notable name because she was a two-time contestant on The Bachelor. So failed prospect dates losing reality contestant. About equal levels of fame there. Cute story. A Lifetime original movie that would write itself.
Let’s talk more Duncanville. This was the town Mean Joe Greene called home during the height of his NFL stardom. Who else lives in town? Tim DeLaughter, lead singer for the Polyphonic Spree.
Doesn’t end there. Want some basketball? How about Takima Catchings, Duncanville High class of ’97, who is among the top talents to ever play in the WBNA.
Not a bad list of alumni right there. Way to go Duncanville!
Light and Day! great song…
