In the summer of 1967, he played for the amateur Cape Cod League's Cotuit (Mass.) Kettleers. The words "Drafted by K.C." appear next to his name on a faded team program, the Journal reported.

Kape Cod?

Amazing how this comes out today. The Gov wants to do his wash when no one is looking.

"After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter ... I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's," he said.

Bill are you getting tips from John Kerry now?

Does Dan Rather still believe it is true?

I threw for a couple of bird dogs after I got out of high school. My tryouts lasted five minutes, total.

I can guarantee to you any baseball player would KNOW if he'd been drafted.

Fish story, maybe.

I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's," he said.

If you were drafted by a professional sports team, believe me, you would remember that day for the rest of your life. Your memory would not play tricks on you with something like that, unless you have a medical condition (hmmm??).

Interesting how libs always see the need to embellish (lie about) their lives records.

Pitiful.

He also harbored the TX RATS who ran out on their duty a couple years ago. For that alone, he'll never get my vote for dog catcher.

After I read that sentence, I immediately looked to see if this was a Scrappleface article.

People who are willing to perpetuate a myth about themselves, are bound to lie about anything.

" He named team scouts, whom he said told him that he "would or could" be drafted. The scouts have since died."


wonder who whacked them?????? :P

"Amazing how this comes out today. The Gov wants to do his wash when no one is looking."

Exactly.

Lest we forget, this is the same guy Clinton used as a "fixer."

For instance, he was the one who was supposed to sugar Monica off with a job. (If you will pardon the expression.)

Typical Democrat....bet the news media does not even get it in print tomorrow...Funny how this comes out on Thanksgiving day so NO NEWS could get it...he's a loser.

Richardson was drafted by the ZZZZZZs. Yawn. He is such a bore. And in other news Hillary Clinton was named after Sir Edmund Hillary...

I'm not quite ready to hit the "B.S." key with this.

Season is over. The coach gets contacted by scouts. One of the A's scouts is considering signing Richardson. Another scout is interested in signing Jones, the first baseman. Jones was drafted in the 54th round. Richardson wasn't drafted at all. The coach gets mixed up and thinks Richardson was drafted by the A's. It goes in the program. Richardson decides he doesn't want to quit college.

Unlikely, but not impossible.

I did...NOT....have....sex draft with that woman team!

***Does Dan Rather still believe it is true?***

Of course he does. And according to Mary Mapes,it IS true and it's not up to them to prove it, it's up to us to disprove it.

[taxesareforever]

And Gov.Richard responded with a "Ho ho ho and a ho ho ho".

"I did...NOT....have....sex draft with that woman team!"


...the A's, the KC A's!

Is he still pimping for Clinton?
