I remember listening to Brian Downing's first game in the majors. I think he was on third for the Sox. The first pitch thrown resulted in a pop fly near the third base dugout that he dove for, caught and injured himself to the extent that he was out for months. When he came back, he got his first major league hit .......... an inside the park home run. At least that is how my suspect memory replays his start.

I researched and wrote the entire piece and posted/pasted it on a couple of differnt Sox forums for all Sox fans to enjoy.

 

I signed up for the message boards at different times -- years apart in some cases -- and used a different "handle" (and password ... ugh!) each time.

 

On this board and the White Sox board I am StatManDu

On the White Sox.com forum I am Bobsagent

On the scout forum I am either DavidBoone25 (a Marquette reference) or PackerReporterEd.

 

I cut and paste the entire piece because I did not want to link to my blog (where I originally posted it) because some sites (not this one) prohibit linking to blogs.

 

I really appreciate all the comments and suggestions from everyone. I will be assembling an updated list with some other intriguing names on it soon.

The last time you saw me I was bald, beard with no mustache, and I had a different nose. So if you don't recognize me, I won't be offended.
