Mikey 16,625 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) There are a lot of my boyhood heroes in that one. Duke, Pee Wee, Campy, Gil and Jackie. The BROOKLYN Dodgers were my team but my favorite player was Stan the Man and he still is today. Thanks for posting this.

I_M4_AU 7,857 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The opening scene was to become Dodger Town in Vero Beach Fla. I spent many an afternoon watching Spring ball there. Great memories as you were really up close with the players. Just before I left in ‘81 I finally realized the advantage of being up close, there were a few followers of the players that were spectacular. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Dodger Town a few times back in the 70's even though I am a huge Yankee fan. Almost married a girl from Vero Beach...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost married a girl from Vero Beach...... I said they were spectacular and they were high maintenance. I just couldn’t afford something like that. If you married her, you probably couldn’t have givin Auburn that million $ donation that you did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was high maintenance somewhat but it all worked out for the both of us. She got married had twins and four total kids. I was highly motivated to work my way up in the corp. world. 4 kids would not have worked for me. Hell I moved 13 times in 31 years of pharmaceutical career 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I moved 13 times in 31 years of pharmaceutical career if you have not read some of the mantle books you missed some epic stories golf. killing cows, crawling around a highrise on a ledge drunk and had to crawl all the way around because the ledge was too narrow to turn around or crawl backwards. i have a ton of his stuff as far as memorabilia goes. a great movie to watch is 61. i still watch that every year or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad everything worked out for both of you. So you were in pharmaceuticals and did well, did you get a BMW? I’ve had them for years and found them fun to drive.

Swamp Eagle 5,144 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Looks like Allsup is picking up where he left off from last year. Retired the side in the 1st, gets a 4 spot, then promptly served up 2 long balls. He’s the opening day starter?

Things change. Butch historically has a very good staff by the time crunch time rolls around. Allsup is good. Not about to judge him on a few early season bad pitches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Four balks called on the EKU starter...I'm watching but not listening, are they calling that for not stopping between stretch and delivery? It's looking like the second base ump wants to be the star tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
