    Apparently not,...I didn't want to dwell, but he implied how fast it can go. Especially with a marriage breakdown due to the crazy schedule...I decided to shut up after that...I did ask him about his best success against a known hitter...(Bonds),...and the infamous ex-wife of Bagwell...(He said I wouldn't believe the crap he went through - said she worked at the mall when they met?)

    I used to work with a former MLB pitcher in San Diego. Guy by the name of John Curtis. Nicest guy in the world, very low-key and friendly. Very un-jock-like. One day another co-worker mentioned that John played in the majors, so I hit him up and he said, "Yeah, I played for a while." He wouldn't elaborate, so I looked him up on the 'net, and the guy played in the bigs for 15 YEARS!!! Won about 100 games. His being a lefty probably added another 5 years to his career.

    Anyway, despite my best efforts, I never could convince him to play on the company softball team. GRRRR!!!!!

    When I was in high school John Elway came through the Drive Thru at the BK that I worked at!

    And so did Laphonso Ellis.

    And Scott Hastings. :eek:

    Dean Crow (former Astros minor league pitcher) was a substitute teacher for my brother one day.
