New guy from Texas

[knuckleball]

Hello everyone, I've been a guest through here on occasion and only recently joined because I just booked my first safari to share with my son in 2026. We will be going for plains game in SA with Dumukwa Safaris. Looking forward to learning all I can and meeting some new friends. Thanks for having me.

Not really. Played a little ball in college and after. It was my favorite pitch and got me into college. Just a baseball lover in general. Seemed like a unique screen name. : )

How much after college and when if you don’t mind me asking. Did the same. College 83-86 and minor leagues from 86-91.

College from 83-85 in Texas. Played in local leagues in Texas after that until about 1990. Was on a national championship team of 18-21 year olds after my freshman year of college. Never was good enough to get drafted but I had a great time playing.

I actually was fortunate enough to get to catch the best knuckleballer in history( IMO) in some spring training games before he retired and came back to the braves. (Phil Neikro)
