great reply.... that was very intersting

 

hearing those nicknames again brings back some good memories of the old sox

 

Gotta say though i really miss Wimpy and Hawk together, they were awesome

 

:headbang

At least Wimpy doesn't kiss Hawks ass the way DJ does. DJ is nothing but a yes man for Hawk and most of the time I find myself turning off the TV sound and putting on Rooney and Farmer on the radio.

Yasny:

Gary Peters pitched and hit when I was a little kid and I loved him.

My dream is still to talk to him.

He lives in Sarasota I guess.

There's a good Sox book with a story on him and I guess

he was a pretty nice guy.

 

I'll never forget listening to a gam eon radio next to bed and he

hit a pinch hit home run vs. cleveland.

As you can recall, he could hit the baseball.

I recall that very fondly. I have a Gray Peters story for you. He was with Boston when Fisk came up, an old veteran at that point. One game Peters was getting shelled or had given up a monster shot, or both. Fisk came out to mound and Peters looked at the rookie catcher and said "What the f*** do you want." Pudge just turned around and back behind the plate.

 

I don't remember where I heard this story, but Pudge was telling it. I remember distinctly because they are two of my favorite players ever. Though, their Sox were the wrong color at the time.

Yasni, that is an awesome story!

Thanks for sharing.

 

I remember one game Peters batted I believe seventh in the order

cause he hit so well.

 

Also thanks for the Buddy Bradford stats, but didn't it say

he hit .220 career? That ain't too spiffy.

Maybe we should start a nickname thread, but i was thinking if Graig Grebeck was little hurt, then how about Miguel Olivo being Mini Caballo?

 

Just a thought.... :D

Got nothing better to do huh!! :bang :bang :bang :bang

 

 

That's what a sucky off season does...

 

BTW El CABALLITO was Jeff Abbott
