same - latest update I see is post 129. Keeping the light on for OT

You've been around a long time. We both know there's no way OT stops posting in game two of the CWS if there is a single breathe left in him.

With a new season about to start, you are missed.

Yeah, I miss OT. I think he has passed, but his heart for baseball was unparalleled.

I miss OT. One of a kind. I hope he saw the NC either here or in heaven! I’m sure he celebrated!

Just to know, does anyone have a fix on Oldtimer’s age? As an OLD Bearden boy I would like to know if I may have rubbed elbows with greatness. Thought he might have tipped his hand along the way if in fact that was his background.

I miss he and SaS’s leading by example around here. Both displayed discretion in their offerings, consistently.

I'd sure like to know a bit about the man in real life.

Do you think he knew how much he was admired, appreciated, and loved by this Board? He was and is a VolNation Legend! Hope he knew it….and felt it….

I hope so. I bet he does now.

I had a guy come up to at Hoover several years ago that said he was OT. We talked Kirby and baseball. I'm gonna assume it was him.Really great guy but almost everyone on here I've met is.

That’s what I’ve heard from people who’ve met you too.

I resisted but found guilty…

I guess we’ll never know, but can’t stop thinking that I hope the good Lord kept OT with us still Combsy threw that last strike to cap off the miraculous run. OT was such a BaseVol OG that the world would not be right otherwise. Miss him.
