Default Ever talk to a ballplayer ?

Posted By: john/z28jd

This is a bit of a stretch but its all i got. My cousin married a kid who played 6 years in the minors for the Dodgers 1996-2001 and last year before Thanksgiving i bought all of his minor league cards and we passed them around during the family dinner.He topped out at AAA before retiring but he still coaches some on the side

He has some great stories of guys before they were major leaguers such as facing Roy Oswalt the day he got called up to AA and striking out 4 times on as he said "about 12 pitches". He also led off a single-A all-star game with a home run and was roommates with many guys who did reach the majors including Eric Gagne
