Odd Pitching Behaviors: Your favorites

Ah Mark Fidrych, he's from Worcester. I see him around every once in a while. I've met a few ball players in my lifetime. Bucky Dent (unfortunately) and Ron Darling. Both clients of my fathers years ago. I went deep sea fishing with Bucky. I wanted to push him into the ocean.

THREAD HIJACK:

what major leaguers have you met? the only one i remember meeting was tim naehring at a bar in quincy.

oh shit, and i met yaz when i was like 6 or 7 or 8 years old at his (and my dad's) alma mater merrimack college watching a division II baseball game. it freaked me out that my dad was bigger than yaz.

I met a bunch at a baseball camp in Houston the summer after my 8th grade year ('88). Glenn Davis, Bill Doran, Billy Hatcher and Kevin Bass all came out and spoke to the campers or signed autographs or both. The Reds were in town, so one of the days Jeff Treadway and Paul O'Neil showed up. O'Neil came to our field and hung out in the dugout with us for a while. Really nice guy. Also, former ML player/coach Dennis Menke ran some 3rd base drill for a group of about 4 of us.

otto, don't be shy to start a new thread!
