I met Zane Smith, former major league baseball pitcher for the Braves, Pirates and Red Sox. Back then he had long hair and an aw-shucks look to him. See picture for reference.
Now he looks like this.
He seriously looked just like that with the sunglasses and visor.
Now, this was due to the Braves having an open house at Turner Field. My friend Andy
and I went with his boys and mine. You could say it was a baseball junkie's dream to be able to run the bases and pitch in the bullpen of a major league stadium. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt like I could suit up and play. However, age and well age, will keep me from trying out.
However, I heard that the Pirates signed two players from India to be pitchers in the minor leagues. They won a reality TV show to get this spot.
Not sure if that is due to the lack of money they have or a brilliant strategy. They signed in 2008 so I do not know their progress, but I am sure they are movin on up. I could teach them the wicked knuckle ball that I have. Then they could prolong their careers by 20 yrs.
That's all for today. It is short, but hey, I wrote something. I will try to determine the best way to add mp3's to the blog and will share the quality music you have come to know and trust from me.
Peace and extra love from me to you!
