I'm guessing there is some 'exaggeration' in some people's history...especially on an anonymous internet forum. Might explain some discrepancies in what they post.

Yes but where there’s smoke there’s fire. In this case, his experience exceeds most here. Goes to credibility. Nothing wrong with that.

Not sure...if a person constantly 'claims many histories' to support their arguments...well, seems convenient especially when they mock other posters by saying...'I did this or I know someone ' that you don't...strikes me a desperate need for attention and a lonely life.

Completely wrong on both accounts. Stop the trolling. It's a waste of time (everyone's time) and unbecoming.

Cranny I’m glad you have your collage pitching memories and love watching the Rooks family when they make their ML debut. Most who post on this forum, including me are here to discuss if the Rook can make the team better on the way to a pennant and WS….if the answer is no then all your wonderful drama of boys in uniform, rookie parents…..is irrelevant. It’s really wonderful those things satisfy whatever baseball interest you have but again most of us want a WINNING DOMINANT MLB TEAM

Wow...Cranny and I were told to put one another on ignore...which I have done...but he's quoting my posts...so, what part of anything can you trust?... looking forward to some more 'memories ' or fantasies?

You addressed me directly based upon something I posted. I addressed you back. Go away, troll. You're taking up space and boring other posters.

SB - Was #1 on the staff of a D-1 college as a junior.
Senior year, a sophomore flame thrower from Chicago beat me out for #1. Ironically at the end of that season, he was signed by the Pirates, who paid his college expenses for his last two years, as he entered their minor league system in the summers.

Question: How many games did your college team play a year?

Just over 20, Red. We only played on weekends and sometimes the weather was bad.

From what I found Colgate played very few and baseball ended shortly since it was a private school.

We had a southern trip to kick off the season. Started at University of North Carolina, East Carolina, then University of Virginia, and on up to the New Jersey and New York areas playing Rutgers, Columbia, etc. During the regular season we played Syracuse, Army, Navy, Cornell, Lehigh, Lafayette, Princeton, Yale, etc. You're right, it was a shorter season compared to big time D-1 baseball schools like Florida, Miami, Arizona, Stanford, USC, etc. Baseball ended after the University went coed in 1970. The woman had a club sport softball team and the men had a varsity baseball team. The women pushed hard and were able to establish a varsity softball team. Since there wasn't enough money for 2 varsities, the men's team became a club sport -which it remains today.

Red. You're much nicer in person...only post about baseball...the forum rules don't apply to me...and I will always have the last word...

Actually, Red, there are 2 posters involved in that violation. But you already knew that. You just didn't mention it because of your fog of bias. But this poster is going back into ignore the troll mode. Suggest you do likewise.

I never broke any rules. I can plainly see you did.

it is funny...watching someone get caught lying and then attacking anyone who points it out...I'm having fun...no interesting baseball activity...Hopefully Bloom can start fixing this [fustercluck] than Mo-ran left him.
