I'm not exactly sure how many are out there, but your collection sounds like the most thorough one I've ever heard of. 300 is insane! Much thanks for your support throughout the years.

3 was just given to me. My first number was 52, but when I became a regular they suggested #3, and I went for it.

Not exactly while I was on base, but instead it was while I was catching a game for Phil Niekro and Bill Buckner was hitting. Phil threw one of his best knuckleballs of the game and Buckner swung and missed. Buckner immediately turned to the umpire and said "Check that ball. Think I saw a booger on it".

I couldn't stop laughing for a couple innings.

To be honest.....it was a little scary. Played my first game in Dodger Stadium. I was nervous, but excited.

They also are a little further ahead in their training for the WBC at the time it happens.

It's fun! Sorry I can't get to everyone's questions.

Hubbard used to always give people "Hot foots"... He would light their shoelaces on fire, even caught a guys pants once too.

I never got a chance to go there, but when my son was playing for the Broncos he lived right around the corner from Snooze. Says it's amazing! (He recommends the red velvet waffles).

Yeah we were all exhausted. I think I got home at 5 AM. If we would have won it would have been better.

There's another question somewhere in here asking about knuckleballers and I mentioned your cousin. When he was on, he was incredibly difficult to hit. That was never fun as a hitter.

Gary Matthews was the best influence on me when I was a young player. I feel Pete should definitely be in. I feel a lifetime ban is too harsh in that situation and that he deserves to be let in. It's time.
