"When the leaves turn brown, I'll be wearing the batting crown"!

[Journeyman]

What well known ballplayer use to boast this each spring?

Baseball is back boys!

 

[Fishhead]

I will not get down, even when my undies turn brown JACK SCHITT

 

[Journeyman]

Come on Fisherman...What famous player use to say this?


No Hint; I'll wait for Willy first...

 

[JudgeWapner]

The Mamas and The Papas?

 

[blueedwards]

[Journeyman]

LOl Judge...Judge you should know this one!
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey, not that line Judge

Come on Blue!? Blue and his Ralph Garr references

 

[JudgeWapner]

Ok,serious guess,Rod Carew?

 

[Journeyman]

Your in the right era Judge for the most part....He was a big braggar type ballplayer...BIG Player! Judge "we" have reason to not like this guy,lol...

 

[JudgeWapner]

Reggie?or Winfield.

 

[Journeyman]

Bigger picture Judge...

 

[JudgeWapner]

Damn,Parker?

 

[Journeyman]

The one and only "Cobra" Dave Parker

 

[JudgeWapner]

Still remeber sitting in the stands for that horrible game 7,singing "We are Family,Parker's momma does it for free."

 

[JudgeWapner]

Also was at Game 2 when it snowed.Blyleven's curve was breaking about 3 feet that night.

 

[Journeyman]

I was at 6 and 7 Judge...I remember being very close to tears...I did get Lee May's bat at game 6 and I still have a '79 WS Ball...

 

[JudgeWapner]

Ahhhh the memories.Even the bad ones are good ones.

 

[Journeyman]

Judge remember when Murray came up with the game on the line, he laced one to right that he just missed (kinda topped it)...

A fraction of an inch and he goes down in history...I think it was the bottom of the eigth....Instead just a flyball into Parker's glove...

 

[Journeyman]

I remember being in Social Studies the day of the game and the snow was coming down...I thought it was game one though, the field was a mess!

 

[JudgeWapner]

JM,remember it well.Was sitting down right field line and thought it may have a shot.I'm actually surprised to have any memories at all from that time period.

 

[Journeyman]

LOL, Judge...it has been a while now! I was walking behind the backstop area (along the red railing that circled the park) people were yelling "sitdown" it was a very tense moment...That team will always be my favorite team, in my mind they were champions...it was a great year Judge...
