Jerbeetwo Joined: 06/30/2019 Posts: 322 Tyler Goldendoodles IV.3 | A little side story if you all don't mind..... I was in college as a senior at Mizzou when Trammel and Whitaker got the call up. I was a big time Tigers fan back then living in Troy, MI. Tiger fans had been anticipating their call up for a couple of seasons so when they got called up I had to try to listen to the game. All I had was the AM radio in my 1973 Ford Pinto but since WJR was a superstation back then I gave it a try. I located the station and since it was at night I was able to listen to their first game and their first at bats sitting in my car listening to Ernie Harwell call the game. It was very scratchy and faded in and out a bit but I was able to listen to the whole game from around 650 miles away in Columbia, MO. And yes Electriceel883 it is a travesty that Sweet Lou Whitaker is not in the HOF. Having watched a lot of his career you don't appreciate him until you have seen him play day in and day out. He was such a well rounded player. |

But we all know your age now! haha You have jogged a few memories with that story! As a child in Nova Scotia I was able to get New York Islanders hockey from Long Island on my AM radio after I went to bed. That made me an Islanders fan during the early years of Bryan Trottier and Mike Bossy. In the summer I could get Expos baseball but in hindsight that may have been a more local station. |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9569 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | From the SS pool??? LOL He has not played a single game at SS ! Yeah, I was a bit surprised to find him in the SS pool. He actually has NO position... It turns out SS is his highest at 0.4. Kind of sad for a guy with 6 years of experience... So apparently guys can show up in a position pool without a small letter experience if it is their highest position! He's definitely not playing SS with 5 Range, LOL.

Pretty neat. Always loved the Tigers as a secondary team. Wasnt happy about getting my team swept in the '84 playoffs though haha. |

JV-Tosshin Joined: 11/11/2020 Posts: 293 Biloxi Thresher Sharks V.15 | Getting a lot of so-so prospects this season. Nothing interesting. Symptomatic, really. Had the worst season start I've ever had. Axed my manager, because the 6 offensive production is probably catching up to me finally. Only the cup is going well. So of course I also get underwhelming draft picks. Another uninteresting 13 pot outfielder this week. Probably gonna drop to a 12, but we'll see what happens. |
