POSTING PHOTOS ????

GGGIILLL THE DEEAALLL HHOOODDGGESS

BBBUUUDDD HHHAAARRELLLSSON woops! Be right back!

Heres a weird baseball link - The Bambino pic my grandad gave to me - circa 1923 - and then - about 80 years later his daughter and my son.

Shep,

What a great game.

A lifetime of memories.

The levels of achievement - or failure - dont mean a darned thing - but the memories of the experiences mean everything.

God was kind IMO.

WOW! Now that was awesome ITS! The pics of Darin as a player are also really good. The younger one has a nice windup but ask him to work on pinching backleg in a little more and try to get power-v in right knee for more velocity and power from lower core. Shep's .02

Shep - he plays CF now.

Pitching is just for high school fun.

Hope LadyNMom and MN-Mom will forgive our love for the game! L-N-M must have me on her ignore list

Memories are all we have sometimes but the images in our minds may be gone in the present but never forgotten-Shepism

Have a good night ITS and board. peace, Shep

In order to be successful as a team - You need good pitching.

Look at the young Seaver and Nolan Ryan.

And the Koos.

Be right back...You're absolutely right my friend!

He wasnt the friendliest guy in the world - but he could strike you out.

Don't forget about TTUUGGG MCCGGRRRAWWW

TTTOOMM SSEEEAAAVVVEEERR&ROOOUUNNDD RRROOCKKK EEXXPPREESS

Alot of people dont remember this guy.

He was good in his day.

Shep - I hope you know that we are going to get yelled at soon.

By somebody.

LOL

JJJEEEERRRRYY KKOOOOOSSSSEEEMAAANN Prolly right ITS, enjoyed! Shep out! Peace Moms

I am going to get into trouble for this - but I have to do it.

This is a picture of MN-MOM back in the early 70's

Deep down - she is a Metsie - but she wont admit it.

[/IMG]

Shep....I most certainly do not have you on my ignore list....and I'm not the one paying for the space on this website.....and I mean that in the kindest and sweetest of terms.....and in complete deference to all the nice people who post here.....but not addressing anyone in particular and/or pointing to one poster!

Calculate the cost of the bandwidth used - and send me the bill.

I will gladly pay it.

And I will kick in a few extra bucks too - just for the heck of it.

And here is another pic.

[/IMG]

Thank you for the kind words Ma'am. The umpire at the end of the "No Crying in Baseball" clip from "League of their Own" taught me to treat each and everyone of you like you were my very own mother Good night Moms, peace.

Shep....I'd rather be thought of as a sister!

This guy was good too. Until his snout got too big.

You got it LadyNMom. We are about the same age Forever Young-Rod Stewart

Paul, I'll split the cost, let's go to town

Peace, Shep

LOL

Shep - I will see you one James McAndrew and raise you two Danny Frisellas.

Deal?

Big snout or not,..its the eyes that'll get him anything he wants,
all of the time!

I personally have enjoyed the pics. A parent is never too proud in his/her heart,... or ( now that some of us have discovered how to post pics ) on the HSBBW!! tee hee!

As the Legendary Howie Mandel would say and I saaaay, DEAL

MNMom,

Good point Julie. You are right.

Here's one of my all time favorites. A point of impact shot.

It was #2 of the day - in the 2003 High School sectional quarterfinals. It was the nail in the coffin. They just wouldnt stop throwing the heat.

or as they say around here "There's the dagger!"

I'll see your Jim McAndrew and raise you the 1969 NEW YORK MET TEAM

Shep,

Now you have gone and done it. LOL

I will see you the whole team - and raise you 1 Jerry Buchek.

[/IMG]

I love the old-time photos and the pics of some "webster sons"! Lots of fun!

Julie

P.S. I hope those involved will pardon me, but I removed a few posts and re-opened this thread so everyone can enjoy the great pics. (Not sure which moderator locked it earlier, but thank you.)

My son and I, together, are enjoying the pics too.

But I do want to clarify that the photo posted by itsinthegame of me is NOT from the early 70s. Or else maybe it's not me. I'm not sure which, but I do know I'm not quite that old. And I have never been a Mets fan, sorry. Minnesota Twins all the way!!!

Sketch of new Twins ballpark:

How about this one - it is almost 85 years old. Actually about a quarter inch thick - like a small cardboard cutout

[/IMG]

MN-Mom,
Is the stadium going to be a dome inside the Mall of America?

How about this one - 1937

Look at the young Joe DiMaggio - 2nd from left 2nd row - and Lou Gehrig 3rd from right 2nd row.

[/IMG]

RZ,

I guess I won't quite believe we are going to play real outdoor baseball here until I actually see it!

This guy was good.

[/IMG]

This oldtimer was pretty good too.

[/IMG]

And this guy threw the ball really fast.

[/IMG]

Wow ITS!!! Those are some outstanding picks with personal autographs made out to
you Paul. I've really enjoyed the pics and
stories my friend! Now back to unfinished business I'll see your bet and raise you
NY City Have a good day board! peace, Shep

Shep - this one is for you.

He was a really good guy IMO. I knew him since I was a little kid - and as luck and life would have it - he wound up working for a real estate company in NY City - and we stayed friends - and went to weddings and stuff together.

The late Tommie Agee. He was a really nice person.
