Great memories. Eh guys??

I used to go to 49'r games as a youth..but baseball and it's players are much more memorable...what a great game...I pitched fastpitch softball for about 15 years and that is the thing that I miss most about growing old...Hell, men's fastpitch doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Thanx for this trip down memory lane.

I hope I live long enough to see the Cleveland Indians win a World Series. Maybe even to exact revenge on the Atlanta Braves for the '95 Series (sorry Braves fans).

I must be the only Brewer fan on the forum. The boys just might do something this year.

"Spahn & Sain(sp) and pray for rain" = where was that from?

"Pitch to him Carl baby" = Erskine(sp)= "oiskin". That is from when the Dodgers were "bad boys"

Ah yes...then there was Fenway...Take the El. See Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio, Bobby Doer beat up on the Yankees and Joe D'.

I was there the night that Bobby Doer left baseball.

OK...senior softball is on again in Show Low...oldest guy on the team...I am ready for PAIN!!!

I am a die hard baseball fan and always have been.
I was a yankee fan until the dreaded Rangers came along. Going from the Yankees to the Rangers as a fan is like falling off your caviar into your dog crap but I keep waiting and hoping like ol Chris. Someday its gonna happen...Texas Rangers world champions! I just hope I am still alive when it does.
When it does I am going to record a song and call it "take me out to the cem e tary."

It's good to see some steel players who are baseball fans. Many musicians can't stand sports, and gravited to music precisely because they weren't jocks. But not all of us.

I finally "retired" from slow pitch softball, after tearing my calf muscle fielding a swinging bunt (I was pitching). But, I loved the competition, and had played in leagues for about 20 years.

I don't know if anyone mentioned that Buddy Emmons has a great video featuring baseball of his tune "Triple Play." It would lead one to believe that he's a fan.

Go Giants,
Joe
