Clint, nice '86 BP jersey...don't see those often!
Mike...Love the oddball publications
Mark...I've never seen that Good Word publication before
Alan...Great pictures of the minor leagues (as always)..What I like about this Forum (among a lot of things) is that names of players will pop up & it will remind me of things I have buried around here...
Alan showed a photo of Willie Royster..Royster had a monster year at AA Charlotte in 1981 setting Franchise records in HR's/RBI's & Stolen Bases...Willie stole 53 bases that year and he was a catcher!
He was rewarded with a promotion to Baltimore after the season ended, however he only got 4 AB's with the Orioles that last month & never saw a day in the Major Leagues after that.
Well over 20 years ago I bought a collection of game bats from a former Rochester Red Wings clubhouse employee and Royster was among them..I had wanted to get this bat signed at some point, however Willie passed away before I had the opportunity to do so.
