I met him down when he was playing in the minors for the PawSox (still have a signed ball that he signed for me along with the rest of the team - btw he was huge even then), and he always struck me as a very classy guy. I wish him all the best. |

It drives me a little crazy the national TV games are always Mets/Yankees/Red Sox games. Yesterday FOX had the Phillies/Mets game, and today ESPN has the same damn thing. Mix it up a little you bastards.

Yes it does. Actually I found a schedule showing all the national TV games for the year. Over the next month they do slip in a couple of Cubs games and Angels games. I never see Cubs game on WGN. I don't care if the Astros are on national TV, I want to see other teams. I would like to see the Devil Rays for crying out loud. I have never seen a Devil Ray game.

I'm having a tough time figuring out how he could have played there. http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballp...nk_Thomas_1968 Quote:
And he does not appear on the PawSox all-time roster, so that's probably out anyway. Did the White Sox (or for some odd reason their AA Birmingham affiliate) ever play an exhibition game there maybe?

could be. idk...all I know is I was watching the game and I have a ball with a whole bunch of players autographs (both teams maybe?) and frank thomas is defiantely on the ball. I don't know...now you all are screwing with my memory. Cape League maybe? But I know that the ball exists, and that I have it in my hand, and it was THE frank thomas (he is sort of...distinctive looking) Last edited by DaddyTorgo : 04-21-2008 at 07:52 PM. |

Wait a minute, something just hit me. Your profile says you were born October 5, 79 Frank Thomas wasn't even drafted until 1989, was in the majors by 1990. Now maybe you think of being 10 as being "a tiny lil kid" but ... edit to add ... Cape League appears to be the answer. http://www.capecodbaseball.org/ Frank Thomas Orleans '88 double edit ... their web site is kind of screwy, go to the homepage & then to the archives, then to the alumni in the majors. Also on the Orleans 88 team was J.T. Snow

yep...i think of 10 as a "tiny lil kid" - at least as far as knowing what teams I was watching and where I was - my memories don't go that far back
yes - it likely was a cape league then - orleans vs. somebody close to where we were staying, or we drove down there really is nothing like cape league ball - I should try to take in a game or two this year. It's so...pure. |

The Astros are using all their offensive power tonight. Up 7-2 in the third inning. Oswalt might have a quality start finally as well, although no sure thing there yet.

FOFC has caught DaddyTorgo in the most pointless lie of all time.

I think you need to hold up your picture of Pumpy and take a picture for us to believe you.

Typical Angels game against the Sox. They are there for the taking, starting some kid I have never even heard of, and we build up a 5-1 lead. How do we blow it? Stupid managerial decisions, bad plate discipline and a bullpen that is good everywhere except at Fenway, of course.
Gawd I hate playing these guys in Boston.

Cubs become the 2nd team in baseball history to reach 10,000 wins with a come from behind 10th inning victory in Colorado tonight.
This season has been fun to watch.

Can we please have John McDonald play SS as the regular? Not only do I not care if he hits .100 because his defense will be fantastic, I'm kind of scared that Eckstein is going to break himself in two trying to make the throw to first.

Finally the Royals pull out a win.
Of course to rain slightly on the happiness of the win for me, Nunez blows it and loses Grienke the win I could've greatly used for my fantasy team. Grienke still looking great, and nice to see the offense actually going a bit in 2 out of the last 3. |

I like Rolen. The rest of the Jays are garbage (not including pitchers).
