Thats an awesome story Ben.The closest i can come to that story is hitting a home run at a family dinner off my cousins boyfriend who played 5 years in the minors for the Dodgers and 1 year in the independant league.Unfortunately he was a middle infielder not a pitcher so its hard to brag about that. My dad struck out on 3 pitches vs Ed Halicki in a high school game once.He said he was throwing at least 15 mph harder than anyone else he faced all year

When i was in school,about 3rd grade,2 of the girls in my class were related to baseball players.One was Bill Lee,the other was Kurt Bevacqua.I was always hoping one day they would just show up and talk to the class.My senior year in high school i actually had Bevacqua's brother in law(the girls father) as my gym teacher,always tried to get him to call him.

If Kurt Bevacqua reads this board,please email me,ive been trying to meet you since i was 8 and found out you were related to people i know!!!!
