Default RIP Curly Neal

True story- when I was playing summer baseball in the mid 80s, Curly Neal was the national spokesman for the company that sponsored our team. I had no idea of that fact until, when we were in the dugout before a game, the manager introduced Curly as our "celebrity first base coach" for the game! Curly came from behind the dugout, talked to us, and coached first base a couple innings- all while dribbling a basketball in the first base coaches' box! I reached first and he told me, "Do what you normally do". So I stole second, lol...Rest In Peace Mr. Neal. Trent King
