Re: The real show
I am related to former MLB players Terry and Bobby Kennedy. Or maybe one of them was John Kennedy? I don't remember, but I am related to 2 of those Kennedy's, lol.
And one of the coaches here at my college is former Twins OF Josh Rabe.Last edited by JoeCoolMan24; 02-19-2010, 12:36 AM.Comment

Re: The real show
I was a good pitcher when I played and my coach always said I had an amazing arm, but my amazing arm hurt itself and that was that. I can still throw very hard and have movement on all my pitches, just have zero control. Shame.EPL - Arsenal
MLB - Seattle Mariners
NBA - Cleveland Cavaliers
NFL - Philadelphia Eagles

Re: The real show
We had a set of umpires that did a lot of are games in pony league baseball that had told my parents they had never seen a kid with that nasty of a curveball at my age or the control I had of all my pitches and said they felt I had a bright future as a pitcher. Things happened on are farm financially that cause me not to play my junior and senior year of baseball. I did strikeout Todd Dunwoody who played for the Marlins actually I dont really remember him getting a hit off of me. I had pitched a perfect game as well as a few 2 and 3 hitters.Comment

Re: The real show
My dad's friend used to play for the Royals (forget his name) and also my mother in-law is related to Tom Neito a former big league catcher. He has a ring with the Twins.. a couple of yers back when he was the Mets bullpen coach he invited me to hang out and tour Chase Field with the Mets, but i couldn't get a ride to Phoenix. Still haunts me because i was gonna walk into the Mets clubhouse with a Yankee hat on

Re: The real show
Holy Crap small world bro, I played for Huntley Red Raiders as a soph about a year after Olson played.When I was in High School I got a hit off a future major league pitcher! I went to Crystal Lake Central and got to face Scott Olsen who went to Crystal Lake South a few times. He was actually born only 6 days after me (Jan 6, 1984 vs Jan 12, 1984). That's as close as I ever got and as close as I ever will get!
