Old timers day is such a blast! Thank you to the Yankee family for making a backup catcher feel so welcome and thank you to the Yankee fans for the nice ovation! I am a very lucky man!
Eric Cooper was one of my favorite umpires to work with! I could always tell that he was giving an honest effort and all he wanted to do was to get it right without an ego or attitude! Rest In Peace Coop!
Really tough news on the passing of Gerald Williams! A great teammate who had a different way of thinking about the game and he taught me a lot. RIP Ice!
When I was traded to the Padres in 96 Bruce Bochy had a simple message for Chris Gomez and myself! “Guys I don’t care what you do before the games and I don’t care what you do after the games! If you play hard for 3 hours a night we will never have a problem!” Hall of Famer!!
Congratulations to the Pearl River track program! Politis running at Duke! Burke pole vaulting at Fordham! Wilson running at Stoney Brook and my son Brian running at West Point! Impressive senior group!
I highly recommend pre ordering this book!! I competed against this tough team out on the field but
@JackCurryYES

and myself at 6pm. There might be a shot of a video where Randy Johnson throws a complete game and doesn’t even tell his catcher “nice job!”
@29alltime
took me under his wing when I started in this business! The veteran helping the rookie! I cannot thank him enough and I will cherish every moment with him in 2018!!

I will miss the handshakes that Ray Fosse and I shared! His strong catchers hand would surround mine and he would always say “what’s up catch?!?!” RIP Ray!!

So sad to hear that Rob Picciolo passed away! My bench coach in San Diego taught me a lot about baseball but taught me more about being a father by his example! Great man. RIP Peach!
