    ok, you've got to send me a private email and let me know who you are, cause only a true Post 51 Player would know about the uniforms, the blonde bomber and how about the "Silver Bullet"? Probably don't remember, but
    I wore number "17" on that team.
    Wish I had gone to see him, got too caught up in
    making a living and didn't take time to smell the roses!

    Yep, we have traded pm's and indeed were and still are
    teammates! That's the good thing about baseball, we played together in '72 and are still good teammates!
    YEP, YEP, YEP! Old Vaginosis hit the cover off the ball!

    He would be on my top ten list of any team!!!!

    Played on the 71 team.Gerald always kept us entertained.On one of many long bus trips he told of pitching in a legion game at Charlotte.The 1st batter hit a hard one hopper straight back to him on the mound.He threw the batter out at first and then said he started to talk to himself.He walked around the mound and said to himself...Gerald that batter hit the ball pretty hard.You better bare down or they are going to wear you out tonight.He proceeded to strike out the next 26 batters.A perfect game with 26 strikeouts.

    He loved to stand in the outfield during batting practice and tell stories....mostly about women and what he had to eat that day.
