"A "great gift" at 6 is highly doubtful (although Tiger Woods started at 2) but as long as has fun and enjoys the game,
why not. Perhaps T ball at 6. At 8, Little League sure. If he is not burned out at 12 or 13 (or girls become…"
"I am to old, been around to long and never accepted the DH or metal bats. Wooden bats and baseball go
together like a horse and buggy, to bring it more up to date, like a man and a woman, like a bride and a groom. Besides, I like the sound of ball…"
"I haven't played baseball since high school and I wasn't good at it then. I have played TY COBB on stage for
3 years and read over 10 books about him including Busting 'Em written by Cobb in 1914. Simply put, his
approach (among many)…"
"Welcome to CheckSwing. I may be in Mesa, Tempe, AZ mid March. Have 4 shows
skeduled there. Hope to swing by and see you"
"I feel a knship with those guys. My playing days were over 35 years ago. At the
age of 70, I put a uniform on, went on stage as TY COBB. The stage is my
Field of Dreams. Like Yogi said, "it's never over till it' over""
Faded Glory
Faded Glory, the true story of a group of aging athletes who never gave up the dream of playing competitive baseball. Through the lens of their manager, Rick Cohen, we travel cross-country on a journey of discovery for the men of National Network.
Players for the Planet, INC.
Players for the Planet was founded by Chris Dickerson of the Cincinnati Reds and Jack Cassel from the Cleveland Indians. The goal, to bring professional athletes together to inspire communities to build awareness of the growing environmental crisis.
"Tom:
I beg to differ with your comment re Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker gambling in the mid twenties. Yes, they were
accused by a player who hated both of them. They were accused. They plead not guilty and new commissioner Judge Kennesaw Mountain…"
"Since 1919, baseball has had a stiff rule. NO GAMBLING. It's in the contract players sign and on every wall
in LARGE CAPS. Yes, he was a gambling addict but that does excuse him. Should he be in the HOF?
For what he did on the field, YES. But…"
Anthony Fruhling commented on Norm Coleman's blog post Hall of Fame Voting"He did forgive him and Alomar even called him after the voting was announced and told him not to feel bad it didn't have anything to do with him."

Designated Hitters

Last week I mentioned Edgar Martinez eligibility for the Hall of Fame. What are you thoughts on DH?
He played his entire career with Seattle from 1987 to 2004. Hit 309 HR and lifetime 312 BAV. Would you vote
a DH into the Hall?

Hall of Fame Voting

Roberto Alomar, slick fielding 2nd baseman is up for HOF. Should he be voted in on the 1st ballot?
After Alomar, the next most decorated candidates among the 15 additions to the ballot were Barry Larkin, the shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds; Edgar Martinez, the designated hitter for the Seattle Mariners; and Fred McGriff, who clubbed 493 homers.

I would be up for that. Have done a fund-raiser for Little League in my
town. Half Moon Bay. Had much help in the way of stuff donated by the
Giants and A"s + fans and a local large memrabilia store. Can provide details.
Have friends at Rotary....very helpful to me. Times are rough but perhaps a
local sponsor or 2 would help. I would love to work with you. Call my

- Hey Norm,
Thanks..that's cool!!! I wonder if we might find some way to do a fundraiser for the Liberty Belles with your show if we could bring you to Spokane...just brainstorming.... that would be a great tie-in...maybe a visit to the local children's hospital as well?
Best,
