Arthur TIGERSHARKS can't be beat:...........But we did.......I don't know where those kids from Columbus came from...They had to be the biggest Elementary kids I ever saw.
The Columbus Zebra's were a bunch of punks, the only big guy they had was Raymond on first base!!! We never lost to them; but, they were good! Coach Jones built the team around his son Kenny, and he was good, but, they never could handle us! Coach Jones picked me up, the summer after 6th grade for an all star team, and even got us uniforms, and we played in a tournement in Blanchard (the only night lights around then), the best years of my life; I loved baseball!!! The team we couldn't handle back then was Lafayette, and you know why; they had a potential "big leaguer" on their team; guess who it was? Played against him in 1956, 7, and 8; my claim to fame!!!! Even got into a fight with him on second base!!!! Hey Gen64 tell me your pitcher's last name (TG); I'm starting to think you were a mascot and not a player! The Indian nickname certainly didn't float!!!! Everyone knew his nickname!!! Well, almost everyone!!!!! Why do you want to know who I am? I didn't set out to figure out who you were, but, Ray Charles could see the clues you were dropping, and I wasn't even trying! I'm just a modest retiree, fishin everyday, tryin to enjoy the good life; and enjoying these "flashbacks" from the past! Ole Prunpicker, Redskins/General keep me entertained with their trivia; nuthin like a good ole "southsider"!!!!! And by the way, I'm close to knowing who Redskins/General is; I know this, he was a little leager playing for Filmore a couple of years ahead of me!!! He knew a cousin of mine at Heronville, and it has to be a baseball connection; Crappiehead is hot on his trail though, hahaha!!!!! Good luck in Texas with your "clean up crew" latching onto some damaged merchandize!!!!! Where do you store it all once you get it up here? Must have a humongous warehouse somewhere!!!! Later.
