Love this. Charles! My husband loved baseball stories and collected a few things. This brings back memories of his passion and delight retelling same ol stores everytime he played, went for a beer after and the team sharing these stories! So much bragging, laughing, forever embellished each time they were told! Great story. Great writing here! ☺️🫶⚾️🥎⚾️🥎

Nice story Charles. What position did you play in the day?

I played second base as a sophomore and I think I led the league in errors, pitched and played shortstop last two years. Thanks for asking?

How about you?

I played infield for a while and then moved me to outfield, I got hit by a pitch and took me out of the desire to continue. Nice you know a lot of history about the game and it’s a national treasure for sure.

I love the game, for sure. It was the most fun I had as a kid. I played basketball, too. My football career ended about the way your baseball career did. They tried to make running back out of me, but I didn’t like being hit that hard.
