I am posting this in full, since part is about me and a neighbor of mine who is a retired professional baseball player. Part is about his college baseball coach and a story he related to me. I found more about the incident on line, and add libbed parts from information others wrote.

Thus I do not feel right posting jus an excerpt and wanting you to visit my web page to read it all. So I post it in full here, with an invite to check out my website, The Reason For My Faith.

Great story. Thanks for posting this.

Excellent story and excellent speech given by Coach Scolinos...

[Hebrews 11:6]

This story is in my Bible, in Hezekiah 3--you know, my Baseball Bible, the one that starts "In the big inning..."

Thanks, Chuck.

Amen...

Someone (Maybe you)posted that at FR eons ago and i made a copy of it. Thanks for posting it again.

--- Not that this has anything to do with what and why you posted, but...
The diameter of a major league baseball is 2.86 inches
Greg Maddux insisted that he owned(and he did) the outside and the inside of the plate.
If any piece of the ball nicks a corner it is a strike.
That pretty much expanded the plate almost 3 inches on either side for Mr. Maddux and the umps gave it to him.

--- After a long while, I finally found what was in front of me all this time, from reading this booklet.
