| Wow! I had no idea that baseball was one of your favorite things. For much of my life theatre and baseball were the two things that made me happiest. I actually cried when Joel Horlen lost his no-hitter in the ninth with one out and the White Sox dropped something like the last 4 games of the season and blew their shot at the pennant (in 1960 I think). I keep all my playbills in one room of my house (with my parrot and the furnace). My trophy case (and all the overflow) are in another room. I finally had to discard all my old scorebooks (I coached for 25 years) -- there just wasn't room anymore -- a decision which greatly disappointed all the guys from my various teams who would occasionally drop by to look up how many hits the had (or for my pitchers, how many strikeouts they logged up) in the World Series of '86 or '87 or '88. We once played a scrimmage game against the Chicago Cubs (mostly their secondary players) at Wrigley Field -- the food afterward was awesome. Another year we played a practice game against the Chicago White Sox triple A team (somewhere on the south side, Midlothian maybe) and kicked their ass. I'm proud to say that two of my former players made their first trips to New York this season with their wives and kids to see Broadway musicals -- I just wished they had picked a better year. |
