Most major league ball players have a story or two about bench clearing brawls when they were involved. All of them that I recall were pretty sedate where there was a lot of yelling and finger pointing, but no real blows were thrown. My most memorable brawl happened in the minor leagues and did ...
Rambling On About My Glory Days - Say It Ain’t So
seamheads.com 6/7/2009 — A day that should be a great memory turned out to be one of my worst recurring nightmares.
The day began as a sweet dream with the annual Seattle Mariner family day. Mariner players’ families came on the field before the game. Kids could take some swings, run the bases and hang out with dad ...
Rambling on about my Glory Days - X-Rated Rookie Mistake
seamheads.com 6/13/2009 — There is a big difference from major league baseball and minor league ball, besides the obvious of the caliber of players. To state the obvious, everything is better at the big league level including the hotels, ballparks, meal money, clubhouses, travel arrangements and “equipment.” It is this ...
Rambling On About My Glory Days: The One That Got Away
seamheads.com 5/24/2009 — Saw the movie Big Fish for the umpteenth time the other night, and I was thinking about some of my major league experiences and how, sometimes, the stories seem to be right out of that movie.

Rambling On About My Glory Days: My “Little League” Homer
seamheads.com 5/17/2009 — Following up on my last post, I have been informed by our Seamheads leader, Mike Lynch, that I had three intentional walks in my major league career.

Rambling On About My Glory Days: Don’t Believe Players When…
seamheads.com 8/2/2009 — No, this is not another story about players using or not using steroids. This has to do with another question that becomes common as the season begins to wind down.

Rambling On About My “Glory Days”
seamheads.com 5/8/2009 — Going to see Springsteen next week and it made me think about guys that could throw that “speed ball” by you. I was thinking about the pitchers who I least liked to face in my major league career (think early to mid ’80s here). I am sure you will remember these guys but they intimidated ...
Rambling On About My Glory Days: One Thing I Never Learned – A Home Run Trot
seamheads.com 5/31/2009 — Being from the Chicago area I often get caught up in talk about the plight of the Chicago Cubs. It never takes long for someone to mention the trite phrase, “Anybody can have a bad century.” I was in a similar situation in my career.
Mike mentioned it recently in a comment to one of my posts ...
Rambling On About My Glory Days: Head Shaking Managerial Move #1
seamheads.com 7/11/2009 — Being around the game for a number of years, I’ve seen some questionable managerial moves. Two that stand out in my memory occurred in the same game and by the same manager. There was no post game interview with the manager so we will never know his thought process on these moves and I cannot ...
Rambling On About My Glory Days: Perplexing Managerial Move #2
seamheads.com 7/19/2009 — Continuing with “head shaking managerial moves” from my previous post and later in the same game – my team was involved in a tense ball game with the score tied in the 10th inning.
