I watched the Seahawks all season long during their amazing season, Ichiro is my favorite. Boy, what happened to those guys?
Wow, you were >< that close to being in a major league baseball family. It's a lot different today than when my dad played. I found one of his Chicago Cubs contracts when I was cleaning out my mom's storage unit. For his 1952 season he was paid $16,500. He was traded to the Cubs in '52. Went to triple AAA (Vancouver and California) in '54 before retiring in 1960.
I remember going to ballfields as a little kid but not where. I was 6 when he retired from baseball. My mom says I went to Vancouver for a couple of weeks so I assume that's where I remember eating Cracker Jacks and hot dogs, visiting the locker room, and playing table shuffleboard in a sports bar...LOL!!
No, I never played. I didn't really like baseball as a kid. I was on track and junior bowling. I am more interested in aviation than sports. The closest I got to baseball was my dad coached American Legion baseball in the 60's and I was the bat boy for the team (Redding, California)
Since my Dad played for the Cubs, I wouldn't mind if the Sox won...like I said, I don't really have a team playing this year. Go Sox!!! Go 'Strohs!!! heheheh
Yes, we can still be friends ;^)
WOW! What a fun childhood you seemed to have had. That would have been so cool. Those were the years of the true greats in baseball. You should frame his card, contract and other memorabilia.
Of course, I meant Mariners not Seahawks
I told you I was an NFL fan.
Not bad in today's money. But not mega millions, alas.
