I never saw the video, so I'll have to take your word for it. Your post reminds me that Pat Dodson was on that team -- I'll add his name to the list.Woodward disappointed people in many ways
Also Eric Wedge, Gammo definitely was pumping him up as Fisk 2.0Catcher would also be Steve Lomasney.
I went to a meaningless September game where the crowd started chanting "Wedge- E", "Wedge- E". If he was a decent player, that chant would have caught on.Also Eric Wedge, Gammo definitely was pumping him up as Fisk 2.0
It did, in schools all across the country.I went to a meaningless September game where the crowd started chanting "Wedge- E", "Wedge- E". If he was a decent player, that chant would have caught on.
He was one of the charter members of the Peter Gammons Sunday Globe hype train.How about Kevin Morton? Supposed to be a big mid season callup; had 3 or 4 good outings; but generally poor and never pitched in the bigs again.

I was on a high school class trip at the same place as Northbridge High on draft day 1999. Asadoorian was there and at that time I thought I was in the presence of a future HoF'er. There was a softball diamond and the park our schools were at organized a couple of games, which ended after Asadoorian hit so many home runs so far in to the the woods there we couldn't find them and they ran out of balls. He was great when he was playing agains the scrubs from Shepherd Hill, that is for sure.I remember Gammons used to hype up the 1999 draft as "the Rick Asadoorian draft." As it turns out, Asadoorian was a career minor leaguer who couldn't even scratch a .700 OPS in nearly 2500 AB.
Eric Hetzel. Now there is a name I haven't heard since Crowley, LA, 2018. Spent almost a decade shooting the shit with the man not knowing who he was. Been best buds with my (now former) boss, has been for years. His minors time was before my fandom memories. I'd get bored at work and throw Live Oak acorns at the trees - always fancied my tiny ass a pitcher. He'd comment on my form, lol. Country boy, but nice as hell to me. Always had to help him lift his Labradors into the back of the truck, as his shoulder was total shit and his kids didn't want to help worth a damn.Rob Woodward, Eric Hetzel, and Mickey Pina are some names I recall from my teenage years.
Yes to Blake. How about Casey Kelly and Rick Asadoorian? There was a lot of hype on all those guys.How about SOSH binky Swihart?
Thanks. I was trying to remember Mickey Pina. He seemed like the next great thing for a while. How about Jeff Ledbetter?Woodward disappointed people in many ways
