  • Biography
    Twins fan since Tony O was trying to play OF on gimpy knees, Carew played 2B, and Blyleven was the young star pitcher.

    Retired from the Air Force after 24 years.

    Grew up halfway between NY and Boston - Yankee fans are much more obnoxious than Red Sox fans. At least they were - that whole "Red Sox Nation" garbage that everyone else has borrowed might have helped tip the balance.

    If there was ever a night to be aggressive, tonight was it.

    I saw one angle that looked like the toe made contact and made an indentation on the base. Maybe there was a better angle that I missed.

    That sure looked like he was safe. Maybe NY wanted to have as rough a night as the crew on the field.

    He slid three times and I don't know which one you're talking about.

    In the movie, Ray Kinsella was from NY and went to school at Berkley, so soda would probably be accurate. (He didn't do a very good job of becoming midwesternized.) At least it's not someplace where everything is a Coke. "I'll have a coke." "What kind." "Sprite."

    I met him this past spring - I was umpiring and he was helping coach one of the high school teams in Lawton, OK. I didn't recognize him at first - he introduced himself as just Butch when he came out to coach first base. A bit later, I heard one of the kids call him Coach Huskey, and it clicked. He seemed like a good guy and the kids all seemed to like him. He still looked like a ballplayer - maybe more so than when he was playing. (He always looked a bit heavy back in the day, but that might have been the 10 lbs. the camera adds plus 10 lbs of muscle from being in pro athlete shape.) RIP. It was an honor sharing a field with him.

    He has been underpaid for his whole career. Now that he is about to reach free agency, I'd say fair market value would make him happy.
  28. gil4
    Tell him to bring a bat.

    Where is Brian Duensing when we need him?
  30. gil4
    I had to think about that, and somehow I ended up with pine tar on my keyboard
  31. gil4
    Now we know the answer
  32. gil4
    I'm pretty sure he is. I think there was a video of him getting a K with one in a recent minor league report.
  33. gil4
    Not quite - his request was plural.😎
  34. gil4
    No kidding. He actually did research - makes those of us who just read half the article before posting look bad.

    The half-full waterlogged one.
