@notgaetti My brother (5) and I (8) met Henry Aaron at the press entrance to Shea Stadium, 7/7/73. We were too intimidated to ask for an autograph so our Dad did and Mr. Aaron signed our scorecard.
@GreekGodOfHops@dreamsparkbb Baseball heaven! My son had the privilege of playing at Dreams Park in 2017. He’s 21 now and that week is still one of his fondest memories of travel ball. I had a fabulous time there as well!
@sigg20 One of my earliest memories is of my grandmother taking me to the corner candy store in The Bronx for a chocolate egg cream! Wish I had some Fox’s U-bet right now!
@GreekGodOfHops Some of the best memories of travel ball were seeing the kids choose up sides for Wiffle Ball behind the hotel. Sometimes the parents played, too. Today when these young men talk about their experience it isn’t about a specific game or chips, it’s about fun times off the field.
@John_Fanta@team980 Odd how the NCAA went from ridiculously restrictive rules like you can’t buy an athlete a cup of coffee to the Wild West, where everything goes, with no thought given to consequences. Time for the pendulum to swing back to the middle.
@TomPenders I would’ve liked to see RJ on the floor because as I said to my son, if he makes a couple of 3’s to tie or for the lead no one would remember 3-17, but it’s possible Pitino was playing the long game with him. Hope he stays for one more.
@MikeVacc All the misses and missed 2nd chances were tough to watch. They just couldn’t pull even. Hard to do when you miss 54 shots! It’s deflating. Hopefully they can mount up and make another run next year.
