OT: Let's see pictures from your "glory days"

[Runscott]

I have no photos, but this ball is from the 2nd-to-last game I pitched. I hadn't pitched in three years, but because of league 'rest' rules, no starter was available. I pitched a complete game, 3-hitter (lots of walks and errors) and the team presented me with this ball.

I heard you weren't the best pitcher in your family, Scott

Haha. I heard that also.

My family went to my little league games, but by the time I was a teenager, they were nowhere in sight - generally following my younger brother, who was a star from his first game. No one could touch his fastball until he got to the pros. My fastball was so slow that you got two chances at each pitch.

This thread made me a little sad actually. I played little league for five seasons, the other years I didn't sign up because little league actually interfered with the games that my friends and I used to play everyday. We all didn't play the year after they put us on three different teams and it seemed like someone was always playing whenever we tried to get together to play.

Anyway, there is one picture of me from baseball days, a team photo from when I was six! I got nothing else, no one taking any pictures. I was an all-star twice, pitched all but one year...yet one team photo is all that ever existed. Some family I got!

Look, no pictures in 1954, when I was 13 years old. My Dad coached this team in the "Boondocks", all neighborhood kids. Handmade uniforms and bats and balls contributed by the local bar. I will post the original Jersey later.

Here is the scorebook and one of the games. Scanned the game where I had 2 hits, didn't happen that often. Maples, batting 2nd.
