Hardcore - Lets wait until March before making any predictions on 8AAA. That will give ERA enough time to compile all his information for the yearly prediction. The one fact ERA did not mention was that in the district tournaments Coffee went to COLUMBIA and won a double header to win the district and with only 2O players returning, I guess Breeden will have to rebuild this year.
Hardcore I am like you, I never knew Russ˜s last name, and everyone I knew called him the BIG GUY. I never wanted to argue with him.
Three or four years ago I was playing the Lady Raiders in a tournament at Columbia when the umpire told Russ to call the coin toss. The game was late getting started, the umps were in a hurry and evidently I was not paying attention and the Big Guy called HEADS I˜M HOME and Tails YOUR VISTORS. The coin landed on tails and RUSS said were home and took the field. Around the 3RD inning I began thinking about the call and I knew I had been had. I asked the umpire if he remembered what BIG GUY called at the coin toss, he thought for a minute, laughed and said I needed to be on my toes when playing the RAIDERS. After the game, which we lost, we were shaking hands when the umpire came over and asked Russ to explain the coin toss to him, The Big Guy smiled laughed real loud and said Gentlemen isn˜t this a fun game. You know he was right, this game should be fun.
Hardcore be careful what you ask for, if you want Russ to answer you.
