Baseball Weekend Day 1 - A Great Start

Day one of the baseball weekend was super. The 'Noles looked great in their win over Auburn. Maybe it really is pitching and defense. Here's a funny story a heard on the radio. Mike Martin always posted a sign in the locker room that read, "Pitching, Defense & Base Running". Doug Mientkiewiez, who woesn't a very good defensive player at the time would tape a sign at the bottom that read, 'hitting'. It bothered Martin so bad he got his revenge. On April fool's day he handed out the line up and Mientkiewiez saw he had been moved down to the 7 spot. Doug, who had always been the 3 hitter, was furious and went off. Threw his equipment tore off his uniform. He really got out of control. The entire clubhouse burst into uncontrollable laughter when Martin says, "Aprial Fools". By the way I think Mientkiewiez learned the value of defense. He went on to win a gold glove with the Minnesota Twins.

Also, the Leon banquet was great. It was entertaining listening to 'old baseball stories all night. Josh's cousing Tyler spent the night and they had a great time playing Madden until they both suddenly came down with stomcahc aches. I guess Silver Slipper food isn't that easy on the organs. Have a great day. Go Noles!
