Short Memories

[Rich]

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.

3) Kirk Spock
4) Tony Soprano
5) Kurt Enrod

8) Tim Donaghy

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.
