Sandlot Baseball – To Bunt Or Not To Bunt…

Date: Sat, Jul 31, 2010

Date: Wed, Jul 21, 2010

Date: Wed, Jul 7, 2010

One of my presents for Christmas 1960, was a 1961 diary. When I opened the book this weekend a folded piece of paper fell onto my lap. Right away, I knew what it was. I carefully placed it beside me and started reading about how I spent the summer of 1961.

Sandlot Baseball – The “Go-To” Guy, Part 1
