[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice 'stache, Gable.

[Guest cooby]

Maybe he figured with a 'stache he'd look older....like 16 or 17.

That's a Tug McGraw Foundation bracelet -

[Guest cooby]

Is that what they look like? I might have to get one of those...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's a fashion faux pas not to have one.

He brandishes that ring like he's in the mob, doesn't he?

[Zvon]

great pics!

Last time I saw Buddy was afew years ago in AC when he was manager of that minor league BB team from Long Island. They were playing the AC Surf.

I hung out after the game and saw Bud about to head thru the tunnel.
I was like "Hey Buddy!"
And he looked up and says "Hi!"

And I didnt know what to say.
I never had these kind of problems when I was a kid with players or celebs, but here I was tongue tied.

So blurt out, " You still playin the guitar?!?"
He says " Yea! You play?"
So I go " Yea."
"What kind a stuff do you play?" he asks.
Im like OMG this is gonna turn into a conversation....
I got all deer in the headlights.
I say," a lila this, a lil a that, ya know Beatles, Dave Matthews...."
And he must have seen how nervous Im sure I suddenly looked.
This was the same guy who gave me my 1st autograph in '71.
I was like frozen.
He goes " Thats great," and he gives a wave and says," Cya around, " and proceeds down the tunnel.

I really think he woulda stayed there and talked if it wasnt for this look of frozen blank stupidity that overtook my face.
I was really pissed at myself for chokin up like that.
But it was Buddy!

wonder if thats the '69 or the '86......

[Willets Point]

Someone retell the Bud/Seaver "I'll call you..." story from the '86 series. I can't remember all the details but it was a great story.

WOW. Is that a baseball card?
Thats kool.

When I first saw that photo online, years ago, I thought it was from the Harrelson/Rose fight.
Then I noticed Rose wasnt wearing the Reds uniform with the elastic waistband, like the Reds did wear in '73.
Of course, the date right on the mag would have been the logical way to tell.

Heres that same pic with the magazine printing photoshopped out of it.

[Guest cooby]

I wasn't sure either, if it was a vintage card or a modern one. Pretty neat though. I never even looked at the guy on the ground

[Zvon]

lol@coob

Buddy almost ran right out of frame here.
He was sneaky fast. Just ask Bench.

[Guest cooby]

Torre in the dugout.

You may be thinking of the '73 World Series play at the plate.
I have a series of those shots I have to set up to post.
