" old timers"

Still here.........

Hey 20,

 

Woody became more involved on political boards and political activities. He hasn't posted in a while. 

 

Most of us have to hang around. After going through the journey we have to post and act like we learned something. 

20dad,

 

Good to "see" you again, and welcome back.  You've got the best tag line ever.

 

baseball......a big business disquised as a little boys dream.

Still Here and getting to be even more of an "old timer."  I miss my buddy Woodrow.  I do get to see him when our daughters compete against each other in softball.  PlayBaseball is also there and so, that makes it fun.  We took our families out together after the games and spent time together.  Good times!

The phrase that comes to mind begins something like this: "Like an old cold,...." 

 

Great to "see" you!

I thought there would be more replys than this,but being a Holliday weekend people are probably away.

  Rj, I have noticed you posting stuff all along,because you are helpful,all of the old timers still offer guidence. This is too long a road not to pick things up.

  Coach I have talked to Woody on the phone,before I got sick.he tracked down my cel some how.a very nice surprise to hear from him. Life is to short not to make connections when you can.if you see them again give them my best.if they remember me?

   I'm sure all the old timers either had their sons or daughters in college or other paths that have taken them down different paths that have taken them away from here.but with the playoffs on, baseball has brought me back here. To read about new trials and tribulations of new members.the circle of baseball,never ending.

i leave Monday for florida,not for baseball but to take my family to Disney.helps them get lost...forget about life for awhile.we can all forget about life for awhile.

  Very nice seeing that there are some things that just survive,such as this site.that isn't an accident I'm sure.

 

 Great game last night.when I was a kid and the Red Sox were out of it,we rooted for the team in the AL east. So I'll be rooting for them O's.but I don't think they'll need my help. Very nice to see the extended baseball family here is still kicking,so am I. I'll be lurking as long as I'm around. See you round the fountain.

 

 

Not sure I fit the "old poster" thing...but I probably do. Still here just "re-imagined" in the World of Disney expression from high school players' dad, to college players' dad, to College Summer League team General Manager... 

hokie, a friend of mines son played in,I think your league this past summer. For the wilmington sharks? Anyway he loved it. Just saying.

Still hanging around here 20dad like a hair in a biscuit!

 

Good seeing you!

I am not really an old timer, kinda a mid-timer, but I do miss GotWood and CADad. I am not sure if 20dad knows that TRHit passed. RIP.

Anyone who has had a child go through the recruiting or draft process qualifies as an old timer!

Well I guess I don't qualify as an "old timer" but that's alright  

 

I'm still around although I don't post a whole lot. I'm now living in Dallas, TX and work as the Head Athletic Trainer in the largest private high school in the state of Texas..

You qualify!

Bulldog19,

Hmmm, Let's see if you qualify.

--Member for more than 8 years. 

--Top 40 in activity points among 20,000+ members. 

 

Doesn't seem like a very close call, Old Timer.

 

 

Still kicking !

Seriously BOF? I think we are going to have to create a new category just for you.....you are a "young Old Timer".   I also miss Woody, CADad and TRHit.

 

I knew tr passed,I was very surprised. He felt like he'd be here forever. I was looking at some old post of mine,he and I tussled a bit in my beginning. Great poster. Rip tr.

 

Today's pitchers don't throw enough!

 

- Just bringing back a memory ... The ghost of TR.

 

For anyone who ever met TR they know he was a real character. My first visual contact absolutely did not match the board demeanor. Even now I get the vision of Paul Williams (singer/songwriter) in a baseball uniform.

I still check in daily although I am not posting as much....

 

Unless I have an urgent need in Chicago around midnight, lol!

TR loved to tangle with umpires..........and here on HSBBW was no different......we had some good back and forths over the years......he never let his lack of rules knowledge sway his opinions!...lol.....

 

I imagine that TR and my our recently passed umpire  Michael S Taylor are still at it somewhere up there.........  

Nice to see so many familiar names - brings back warm memories of the time when 08Son was on the journey. 

 

Two  more I would love to hear from - Krakatoa and Observer44. 

 

As for me, I'm still around now and then - obviously not as often as I used to but still nosing around.

aren't you from Wartburg ILL.? Or close to it? columbia maybe? Anyway one of those busy towns south of st.louis.if you have. Been to the war tburg inn,your my man.

 

 You have been here foe a long time.not a good time.you count.

I'm from Waterloo, IL. Wartburg is a little small community right outside of town. In fact, until I moved to Texas, my dad and I played golf out at Acorns in Wartburg almost once a week.. 

And one of the reasons Bulldog moved is because he knew I would come down to Acorns and lay a whopping on him and his dad.  LOL!  Ok, so I'm a grip and rip and Acorns is placement golf.  Maybe I'd be the one receiving the whopping.  Bulldog, if you and your dad want a laugh or two, when/if you get back home, I'd love to drive down to Acorns and show you my golfing prowess or lack thereof. Maybe teach Coach Vogel a thing or two as well. 

i was an usher at a friends wedding. He married a girl,from around there.they were married in war tburg,population 64. At the time. Had the reception at the grange hall,I think. love the area,your lucky to have lived there,old timer

Funny how this stuff works - I was just thinking about you 20dad the other day and wondering how you were doing.  Nice to see you back!

 

Best,
JBB

Every coach's and fan's prerogative, right?!

 

Not really old timer but been around about ten years. I miss many of the posters from when I first came on here. 08 dad mentioned two I miss. There are many more.

 

I try to offer help when  can, as I was helped so much when I came here.

 

Its a good site and Julie has provided an awesome tool to use to navigate. Bob before her.

 

Nice to see you post!!

 

 

You should think about a million dollars being left in your mailbox. See if it works the same.
