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.

If you were drafted by a professional sports team, believe me, you would remember that day for the rest of your life.

A hundred years or so ago a scout who was rumored to have discovered Johnny Bench came to my back-water, West Texas town checking out the local high school catcher. He'd made All-State his freshman year and was battling .487 and whacking homeruns with the Big Boys with only two games to go in his sophomore year. The kid had power and everyone told him defense could be taught. The scout was impressed as hell . . . then discovered the kid was only a sophomore.

The scout promised to come back and check on the kid.

Well . . . his junior year opposing pitchers discovered the kid couldn't hit a curve or slider to save his life. His senior year the wily and mean-spirited pitchers feasted on serving up nothing but curves and sliders.

Throw the kid a fastball of ANY velocity and he'd smack at least one out of two for a clean base hit . . . and more than normal would end up being monstrous homeruns.

But throw him the most horrible curve in the world . . . and he'd flail at it for days and never so much as dent his bat.

But, hey, a scout DID talk to me once for about five minutes . . . LOL . . . and you're right . . . I'll never forget it.

Unlike Bill Richardson, I never claimed I was drafted . . . but I did get paid $25 for a slow-pitch softball game one time. I always could hit them "straight" balls. But put a little "wiggle" on that sucker and I couldn't come within three feet of it.

You're right . . . Bill Richardson is lying out his teeth.

As in 'etched indelibly' in my memory?
