[quote=xpress34;279858]Mook - I believe you are correct. He played in a day game and was traded mid way through and arrived in time to play in his new teams night game that night. I would need to look up the specifics...
Anyway, It appears my video did not load, so here's a link to it of Parrish signing and talking to me...

Youngblood played for the Mets, got a hit, was traded to the Expos and got a hit for them. Or, vice versa on the teams.Leave a comment:

I live an hour outside Cleveland, so basically, yes I do live in CLE. And yes, a huge Indians and Browns fan! Sometimes it is tough but I will always have my heart with my CLE sports teams. Are you from CLE?Leave a comment:

Growing up in Dallas, Larry was my guy... standing straight up at the plate and literally 'lowering the boom'....
I finally got to meet him last year when the Braves were here against the Rockies - I picked up a BEAUTIFUL GU 1976 (BiCentennial) Bat from Ben (gorilla777) that Larry graciously signed for me.
I've met a TON of guys over the years having worked for Nike and Rawlings (Pujols, Nolan Ryan, LaRussa, Lasorda, Jeter, McGwire, etc) and I was never as nervous as I was when I finally met my childhood idol.
Here's a little known fact about Parrish - he holds a MLB record - ONLY player to hit two grand slams in the same week... in BOTH Leagues. Did it with Montreal and with Texas.
Here's a video my wife took:
