….. then again, it’s a different sport, so who knows? Michael Jordan couldn’t hit a curve.

What impresses me is he appears to be a catcher. I did that for one morning session and my knees were screaming. After all his years on the ice, if his knees can withstand two games a day for 5 days, then he’s in realllllly good shape.

I’ll tell you what though, Vedder isn’t any slouch either. He’s got what passes for speed in a Hundley camp, and can cover ground in the outfield.

John Cusack? Meh. I GOT TO SHAKE THEO’S HAND

j/k

I can’t wait to hear from Katie about how her husband liked it

He said he felt like he was 12 again. He was catcher and caught for every game until the very last one (he got hurt towards the end of the 2nd to the last game). At one point he caught 4 games in 24 hours because they had two night games followed by two day games and two of those games went into extra innings. Considering he hasn’t played since he was 15, I was amazed at his endurance. That last game that he missed was for the championship, so it was absolutely killing him to be on the bench. His team did win the Championship in what was sort of a war of attrition. By the end everyone looked to be limping or exhausted in some way or other.

There was an upside to his being carted off by the trainer, besides that it ended up not being serious. Just a calf strain from running the bases. When he was in the training room he saw Tony Campana there. He asked him to sign his cap. While he was signing it, he said “I was trying to run the bases like you. That’s why I’m in here.”

I will probably write a fanpost, but I’d be uncomfortable posting most of the coolest stuff because it was really off the record. Sorry guys, but you aren’t going to find out anything Fergie said when he drove my husband to the park (!!!) or when we sat at the bar talking to Keith Moreland. It was unbelievable how accessible the coaches and players were.

…Vedder is shorter than Theo. Then again, I’ve never seen either of them in person.

Hope you guys had a great time.
