Didn't Fernandomania manage one of the teams last  year?  These guys love RBIers...

do they still play the old timers softball game?

I recall Ozzie Smith and Ryno going yard.  Maybe in Milwaukee.

Very good article, never heard of this futures game.  They say Hernandez is a cattle rancher in the Dominican Republic and looking to get back into the big leagues.  Added a small bio to the RBIdb:

This sounds vaguely familiar...  is this a game that occurs the day before the MLB all-star game?

On a related note, anybody remember the Senior League about 10-15 years ago?  I think they only did one season.  Retired MLBers played some games down south during the winter.  Nothing competitive obviously, but pretty cool to watch the old guys limping around the basepaths.

The Coors Silver Bullets were an all-female team, managed Phil Niekro. I think he managed them because he knew a lot about girl stuff like nail files.

this made me think of the Lovely Ladies on baseball stars, and that grey-haired perv that managed them.

Lian and Rachel were foxes, though.

No, they're the team whose manager will become the pitchman for AstroGlide... (Damn, that sounded wrong...)

did you catch the pregame today where dusty talked about how intimidating Yankee Stadium is, etc, etc.

The fucktard was making pansy assed excuese why his team is sucking ass.  Just one time, I want the hoity toity chicago media to ask this question:

"Dusty, why are you so god damned stupid?"
