Welcome aboard boys...

3 to draft 2 nite!

[the splinter]

I turn 42 in November(send your cards and letters boys). In the summer of 69 I had just moved to Atlanta at the age of 5. I have no real recollection of the famous season. I do remember a few things. Having just moved from Cinncinnati I was forming an idol worship over Johnny Bench. Having just arrived in Atlanta I identified with the Braves very quickly. Dad and I took in alot of games that summer. A lot of the Braves lived in the area and you would see them at the store or the dentist etc. Eventually Larry McWilliams of Pete Rose fame moved in a couple of doors up the street. He stayed until traded to the Rangers I do believe. Don't forget the Mets had to beat the Braves to make it all happen. Lastly, it was the summer of my first little league team. I played on the Stone Mountain Metropolitians(it was filled with recent northern transplants that the good ol boys hadn't got to know yet). I was #5 and I caught so naturally Jerry Grote and Duffy Dyer were my other idols althought short lived.

Well,

Thanks splinter for telling us who your heart is with AND who most likely you are going to draft. :lol:

J.B knows I love him....but I left him off my card. Too many othe cheap and effective C's out there. Although a Grote/Dyer platoon ain't too bad.

So, just want to know if anyone has been rejected when U sent out an invite for a friend. As I have said all along, Visick is a backstabber and friend rejector! :shock:

Let me put it this way...I've never had an acceptence...sad but true.

I did post on the bonecrackers blog...but he never responded.

47 here...God, I'm older than Frank!! :oops: :oops: :wink:

'69 was the first year I really payed any attention to baseball, and the first season of strat i ever played (with Gamer46, Malec, among others!)...My hero was and is still Johnny Bench (splinter, we have a kinship!)...I was a "Big Red Machine" fanatic (as visick knows)....So everyone keep your mitts off my Reds!! :wink:

However, Vida Blue will be my first pick! I am thinking of batting him clean up vs lefties..... :lol: :lol:
