George HW Bush was the pres. East and West Germany were talking about getting together, gas was $1.16 a gallon and it was the last time i didn't coach a summer team till this year....
painted 3 houses, only threw bp about a dozen times (i'll bet my arm will be all jacked up in a week when fall team starts)... watched a heckuva lot of tv baseball.... most of all i was one of those wandering dads behind the fence and bleachers, watching the game between peoples legs... did get to meet a lot of nice folks that you never get to visit with when you are coaching so that was neat.
the best part was you could show up a few minutes late if you felt like it and it was pretty easy to pound down an extra brat and linger at the concession stand between games of a DH...
so there's my end of the summer ramblings.... fall practice (and temps i hope) will be here soon.. yippeee
