Just for the fun of it I thought it might be interesting to list some of the team names we've played for. Here in NYC over the years I've pitched and played a lot of 1st base for a number of teams. I started as a catcher years ago (1957) so I guess it makes sense that someone would discover that I was also a pretty good catcher. Anyway here it goes;
Portland, Oregon Dodgers (Little League)
Darien, Ct. Fire Dept. (Little League)
Darien Ct. Dodgers! (Babe Ruth League)
Darien High Blue Wave
(Years later...)
Canon's Bar Renegades Won two Championships in about 12 seasons.
NYR of Books Battlin' Books (I designed the logo for this one based on the Red Sox batting Sock except that it was a book with an anglophile monicle.)
Moondance Diner
Lucy's Surfateria
Live Bait
and finally;
The City Raiders
By the time I hit my final years with the City Raiders
(we wore Colorado Rockiers stuff for the CR, I was about 48 and the next oldest player on the team was maybe 25. Still pitching, catching and playing an occasional 1st base.
In my final game I think I went 3 for 4 and started a double play from 1st, snagging a grounder, stepping on the bag and throwing home.
Must be because I miss it so much that to this day I'm looking for great gloves.
Anybody else want to chime in?
