What position did you play, and can you give a little history? <br /><br />Answer: Blackie Lawless: I used to pitch and play first base. I have a history of professional baseball in my family --my uncle played for the Yankee, and another uncle had a chance to play for Detroit. Both of them could throw around 100 mph. It kind of runs in the family. Had I not done music, that's truly what I would have wanted to do. I bleed Yankee pinstripes.Dion's IP Autos onlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085958957784882364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-74039083583273566112012-09-25T11:43:00.175-07:002012-09-25T11:43:00.175-07:00Yep, they even did a bit on it on NBA Inside Stuff...Yep, they even did a bit on it on NBA Inside Stuff just before the episode aired.Jason Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543465200431539036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-30804299205269176552012-09-24T18:35:29.847-07:002012-09-24T18:35:29.847-07:00Lakers forward James Worthy?

I don't mean to bash batting in spring training, but its a lot different then lacing up the boots to play in a real league game with studs up and paychecks on the line. <br /><br />He wasn't a standout mind you, but he did get some games on being a good athlete and somewhat skilled payer. That's more than I can say for Ocho Cinquo, (Chad Johnson) who tried out for MLS's Kansas City. He looked like a kid among adults. <br /><br />PS - that 1997 Upper Deck set is getting harder and harder to find (especially all the inserts) Nice pick up.
