OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

I play softball with some buddies of mine. We are a good D team if that means anything to anyone. Anyway, last night I hit my first grand slam at any level of play. I crushed it to LC field and it was a no doubter. Felt good

I hit a Grand Slam once when I was in Little League. I was but 12 years old.
For some reason, it's something you never forget doing in life..

1976 looks like something out of the "dark ages".

I resemble that remark. That team was the year after I graduated.

Looks like they had a bunch of Mike Honcho’s on that team.

I was dating a girl in 1976 I had met who eventually became my wife.

I remember my little league team riding around like this on Kingston Pike. It was a little scary sitting up on the side.

A Look Back on When Two-Time MLB All-Star Vince Coleman Threw a Lit Firecracker Near a Group of Fans at Dodger Stadium

It seems he was a bit of a lose cannon. He even injured Dwight Gooden in the clubhouse swinging a golf club around. If he had thrown that firecracker today, he would be banned from the league. It is sad once you look at his playing career because he was actually a better base stealer than Ricky Henderson on a per game basis. He even did something Ricky couldn’t do, steal 100 bases in 3 consecutive seasons. He was the guy that they threw over like 20 straight times because they were terrified he would get into scoring position. As soon as the pitcher went to the plate he was gone. He also had a horrible OBP compared to Ricky so it makes it a little more impressive imo. I don’t think it’s crazy to say had Coleman stayed in St. Louis he would probably have the 2nd most SB of all-time instead of being 6th.

He was a great base stealer. Early in his career I was hopeful he would bring the stolen base records back to St. Louis.

I was gonna put at the top of that post, not baseball related so you don’t have to worry about OldTimer. But didn’t want to give any clues.

You got it right, good job.
