I don't believe Latka Gravas was either Latvian or Orthodox. (But a great character, nonetheless!)

Dang! I thought I nailed it! By the way, which of the great cities in North Texas do you reside?

Latka was of no known origin, and spoke no recognizable language. But he was funny.

Best line from that episode:

Frank Costanza: Latvian Orthodox! Aren't those the people that go around mutilating squirrels?

Little confused here. Should I not point out that Leslie Uggams is African-American in the title line of my T206 listings on Ebay?

Incidentally, if you subscribe to Netflix, The documentary, "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg" (1998) is available for instant viewing. Good stuff.

Latka actually claimed to be from Caspiar, a small island in the Caspian Sea that sank.

Expect to pay big money for the Kavorka's rookie card.

George, what is it about Latvian Orthodox that you find most appealing?

George: I like the hats...
