Benny Joe Edelen (born September 16, 1955) was touted as one of the all-time great high school athletes in the state of Oklahoma. A recipient of the Jim Thorpe award, Joe excelled in basketball and baseball receiving All-State and All-America honors in both sports. Edelen is a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher who pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds.

gollark: Liquid RAID? Is that some new RAID software or something?
gollark: A RAID10 array of SSDs is the way to go.
gollark: <@169181866451140610> Also, M.2 SSDs can use SATA like regular 2.5" ones or NVMe. M.2 doesn't automatically mean faster.
gollark: <@175686996461617162> OC already has event.listen.
