Well something I read on this web site today kicked up in me a memory from way-back I'd like to share. Maybe you've seen similar things.
Mid 70's; playing a Legion tourney in Colo. On the other team was a centerfielder with probably more talent than anyone I've ever shared the field with. Cannon arm, speed of a gazelle, tremendous swing... very long, red hair.
Well the game is moving along and he catches a long fly ball to end the inning. Instead of bringing the ball in and flipping it to the ump or mound he leaves the ball at the base of the fence in CF.
First the ump and then his coach ask him to go get the ball. He says, 'you want the ball, go get it yourself.' Ump kicks him out of the game; his coach approaches him to reprimand him and he strips off his jersey, hops the fence and hitchhikes home. It was weird to say the least.
