Isn’t this the story of how Rogers Hornsby got his first major league hit off of Grover Cleveland Alexander?

I know one of the sapplings had a mark on it, and after that ball landed the next day at practice we put a sign up on the tree “500 ft” and dated it for you. If nothing else, USIU was a fun team to play, right? lol

I like your original version better than the debunked version. LOL!
I tell you what….I clicked the link and checked out those lineups.
We had some good talent on that 89 team. What is it about KC?
We can get really good ball players, but they dont mesh with a team
until they leave?

I enjoyed the story tho… You are one of my all time favs here in KC.
You were always easy to talk to..Randa gets #1 spot, then Sabes..then Mayne.

Later!

Ugh – Deadspin… that site is so full of bitterness and negativity it’s impossible to read.

You should thank Rob Neyer and his ESPN blog. That’s where I heard about the story.

[...] Mayne partially recants his story about tipping pitches to J.T. Snow, and I, for one, accept his explanation: “I was hanging out with George Brett a lot those early years, so my memory is all pops and crackles.” [BrentMayne.com] [...]

I have just been directed to a gem of a blog/website. Thank you,Brent. And thank you Craig for pointing me here. I think Brent owes Craig a beer.

Here’s how bad my memory is…I don’t remember hitting 3 jacks in a game. I think I DO remember that last homerun though. If I’m not mistaken, and I might be, that homerun was the hardest ball I ever hit. If that’s the homerun I’m thinking of, it actually dented my aluminum bat. Someone got the ball and one of the sides was slightly flattened. Honest, I think….
