Oh, how I hate the Dodgers.
I didn't see the last inning. I turned it off in the eighth with the score 8-0.
We watched more NFL than anything at our house. Dad had to see his Cowboys play.
The NFL had adopted instant replay to try to correct bad calls. I hope that never comes to baseball. Part of the fun to pitching is figuring out the umpire's strike zone and trying to push the edges as far as I can and still get Blue to call a strike.
I got to see Beth play quite a bit of college volleyball. Her team made the NCAA Tournament before losing in the first round to UT Arlington.
The Beaumont Golden Gators ceased to exist. They were sold and relocated to Wichita, Kansas and were renamed the Pilots.
They did, however, remain in the Texas League.
Leonard Johnson Ford from "Edner, Texas" (people hated him calling Edna "Edner") practically gave me a car (used but I didn't mind) and I posed for an ad in the local paper.
I also did an interview with the paper, the Jackson County Herald and Mom pinned the entire thing on her wall.
Beth and I dated seriously when we had time between her classes and volleyball. She was even more of an exercise addict than before and started thinking about becoming a video workout girl like Denise Austin or something.
She certainly got my heart racing into the fat burning zone!
And I threw the baseball.
And threw it some more.
Every day of the offseason, I got in some practice.
