Short Memories

[chartrusepengui]

We only put our photos on there so that when coaches do ratings later - they have an ideo who the heck they are giving the rating to. The whole rating system is not very good. But it is worse when a coach can't read your name and number. I've gotten ratings from coaches at schools I've never been to and didn't even know existed.

I have a Brother P-touch label maker. 3/8" tape. I make one label (at home prior to the games) with R/U or R/U1/U2 on the top line with our state numbers underneath on a second line. Fit perfectly in the book and takes less time than signing the book.

If I'm not the R or I'm not working with a regular partner, we just sign the books. I'm usually Bruce Froemming in those cases.

Rich, you've lost considerably more weight than Bruce.

Coach or someone else at the game asks your name? Here's my top ten:

1) Skippy Weaselpants
2) Pat McCrotch
3) Kirk Spock
4) Tony Soprano
5) Kurt Enrod
6) Bob Alou
7) Paddy O'Furniture
8) Tim Donaghy
9) Theodore Cleaver
10) Thomas E. Dewey (special reason for this one)

Don't forget Al Buterol

I know his buddies: Al Coa and Al Luminum.

Also, Bob Seetwins.

I had a partner a few years ago who wrote his name down in the scorebook as "I. Forgot". I guess it's better than "I. Dunno".

My mom used to have a stack of those papers. If I had them today, they'd be worth a fortune. I know that one of them was recently donated to the National Archives.

Same story with my baseball cards. Willie Mays. Hank Aaron. Mickey Mantle. Whitey Ford. Harmon Killebrew. Frank Robinson. Ernie Banks. Yogi Berra.

I don't know -- from what I've heard Bruce has slimmed down quite a bit since his retirement.
