@musiclady Hmmmm. Musiclady wanting to be the first lady to play for the Indians. What happened? What position would you have played? I am serious, really, and not trying to be mean or anything, but your name is soft.
I was born between two ruffian brothers. The thought never occurred to me. I loved watching games, still do! I also love collecting ⚾ memorabilia. That's what I was doing for the first eight innings of the game for two hours!
@Cyber Liberty is happy with the goods he watched me bid on tonight. Bidding could be a sport, too! Gets rough in there!
There were two things I had a passion for as a child........... music, and baseball. ^-^
It actually doesn't hurt a bit to have an aggressive, competitive personality, and coordination as a female musician...... especially as a conductor. ^-^ I actually had quite a few barriers to break down since almost all conductors back in the '60's were male, and my own advisor at college didn't think women could conduct well............ until this tomboy came around!
I stayed home with my kids and taught them how to throw correctly, to bat, and to throw a perfect spiral with a football, and to shoot baskets (I was a pioneer college basketball player on an inter-collegiate women's basketball team in the late '60's). My husband's an athlete, so he helped a bit. :dx1:
One of my nicknames at church was "center-fielder" because I did that as a kid at the men's softball practices, but as I aged and slowed, I preferred 1st base. Never lost my coordination or reflexes........ just my speed. ^-^
When I get time today, I'll scan and post the glossy photo I have of Terry Francona's dad, Tito, from the 1961 Indians team. You'll probably get a kick out of it. (Already posted the one I have of Jimmy Piersall when he died).
