Pulling the String

"Baseball...is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed, and the only one in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime and ending with the hard facts of autumn." - Baseball: An Illustrated History

About Me

Name:

In To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, young Scout Finch learns how to see from Boo Radley's perspective by standing on his front porch. The Radley Porch is my venue to explore perspectives in literature as well as other areas of my life. So come on up the steps, curl up on my virtual porch swing, and relax!

Dave who?

This is what I love about the Twins - I turned on the game this afternoon and this guy named Dave Gassner is on the mound. Who on earth is he; where did he come from, and why is he our starting pitcher? The outcome of the game is still in question, but he left with a lead after the 6th - 3 hits, 2 runs (only 1 earned), 1 SO, 1 BB, and a 1.50 ERA. Not bad for a Major League debut!

The Twins have such a deep organization that this happens all the time. I'm often stumbling across guys in the box scores that I've never heard of. They almost all pass themselves off very creditably, too.
