it was free beer in the 80s for cash strapped college students..ya drank what ya got

The city here does a great job prepping the little league fields, however they do it very early in the morning. When it’s 85+ all day the field just becomes a dust bowl by the time afternoon/evening games start.

That is all.

bring it up at the next town hall meeting..

I keep a few baseball cards in my wallet...these are them

Pretty solid group there

this arrived and I'm slowly going through it..what a great read..

I needed a bookmark for it so I thought I would use a baseball card..I opened a pack of 1989 fleer and the first card was a darryl strawberry..

My son made his high school freshman baseball team. It’s a traditionally sports-competitive school so we were super nervous for him leading up to it. He had been cut or on the bubble with multiple travel teams and I always felt pretty bad about that because it reeked of dad ball politics I’m not a “jock dad” up in the coaches’ b-holes. Like if I had been a different kind of dad maybe he wouldn’t have had to eat a bunch of rejection. So let me tell you how vindicated I feel on his behalf now that dad coaches are off the table and lo and behold he makes the team and is solidly in the pitching rotation.

Pitching of all things. Outfield on off days.

General consensus is very high on the Mariners this year and that makes me super nervous.

Please keep the Mariners talk out of doug's baseball stories thread.

But yeah it's gonna be hilarious when Raleigh hits 23 homeruns this year.

SunuvaBITCH!

Wrong thread. Sorry.

in 1989 one of my friends after college had taken a job with the Denver Zephyrs who were triple A for the reds at the time..he had a clubhouse job and we were roommates at the time with another guy. we used to go see him and hang out at the stadium...one day after batting practice Gary Sheffield came in and he gave me his broken bat..I think another roommate or movers lost it because I have not seen it since we moved from Denver to nyc..

Sheffield came up in the Brewers org. Denver was their AA and then AAA affiliate the late 80s.

Greg? Vaughn, Darryl Hamilton, Jaime Navarro…
