Rick- Well, they might have moved the fences in on you during your hayday, but to make matters worse, weren't you also playing in the 'dead ball' era? Not a bit fair, but what respect, big fella! If you're interested, the rest of the scouting report on you reads as follows- 1- has a bit of trouble with the spitter and knuckle ball, but hits the the shit out of the heater and curveball. 2- Tends to hustle more with two outs, because he knows there's cold beer waiting for him in the dugout. 3- Has been know to do some serious 'beaver shooting', so most women in the 'box' seats tend to wear slacks, even on hot days. 4- Like the Babe, he tends to wolf down a hot dog or two between innings, but claims he gets more energy as the game goes on. 5- He once lifted his arm and pointed with his index finger towards the outfield fence, indicating where he would deposit the ball, however, the evidence later showed he noticed a young guitar player forming an incorrect chord on his guitar. He gave the poor kid proper shit, and then took him out for a pop after the game. Once a teacher, always a teacher. The Sporting News noted that this particular scout was immediately fired after filing this report. Finally, if you want to know anything about baseball trivia between 1940-1960, Rick's your man. Anything later, it's just a rumour to the poor man.
