| Here
are a few photos of our vintage baseball team, the Wood County Infirmary
Inmates, this year. Below are the front and back of my baseball
card. At right are two photos from our August 12 game with the
Cincinnati Buckeyes. I'm pitching in the top photo and batting in the
bottom one.
A few points:
- I chose the nickname Cap because I wrote a book about Cap
Anson. If you don't choose your own nickname, someone will
give you one, and you may not like it. Always pick your own
nickname.
- See that backstop in left field? It's about 300 to 310 feet
from the plate. I got a ball there once on two bounces, but we
have guys who can hit it into the woods (335 feet or so) on the fly.
- Of course, the photo on the bottom shows me missing the
ball. However, I hit a sacrifice fly on the next pitch and
drove in the runner from third.
