@TMead2002 Thanks so much. What kind words. I had an incredible day. 66ers put up family video messages throughout the whole game. Earl played Happy Birthday on his sax. All staff gave gifts and a cake and treated me like a King. Texts and emails all day long. I am so Blessed. God is good.
Coach Alday was about relationships. Cared as much if not more about the individual and his family then he did the athlete. He was a teacher, mentor , motivator and fiend. He was a huge part of my success, my family and I will miss him deeply. God Bless you and thank you Coach
@DMeredith28@JoseMota05@saya_nomura Yes sir. Vin Scully and Garagiola said it was the first broken bat HR they had ever seen. It’s gets some play on ESPN from time to time. So awesome
@JoseMota05@JballAllen@saya_nomura How about your first year in the big leagues you're surrounded by. Carew/Grich/Decinces/Downing/Jackson/Witt/Boone. Wow so blessed. #motanomura⚾️
@JoseMota05@JballAllen@saya_nomura Brian Downing was and still is a great friend. Brian Harvey as well. Joyner and I were roommates for the first few years. The list is many. We were all Angels. We all bleed Angels red. #motanomura⚾️
@JballAllen@saya_nomura@donnomura@RexHudler1 Rex always shared his bug-eating incident so as I recall when Takatsu asked me I said no way but I have just the guy. LOL. I told him to get some money together and he did. The rest is history.#motanomura⚾️
@JoseMota05@RexHudler1@Royals That crazy worm 🐛 incident might be the single event that bonded us all together and led to an incredible Championship. Team unity. #motanomura⚾️
@saya_nomura@donnomura@RexHudler1 I saw that earlier today. What a story. He was such a humble teammate. He said he carried my bags he was not kidding. He gets a ton of credit for my 93 MVP season. Love him. #motanomura⚾️
@donnomura@saya_nomura@JoseMota05 He was like my first Angels manager Gene Mauch. When he smiled that meant good job. When he frowned you new it was time to shape up. What an honor. #motanomura⚾️
