McCaffrey’s World
By
Bill McCaffrey
It was very tragic when Steelers quarterback Ben Roeljlisberger was so badly injured in that motorcycle accident but hey, he wears a football helmet to protect his head in a game but won’t wear a helmet when racing down the street in a big hog. So he belongs one dumb person and I always thought QB’s were suppose to be smart.
He must have thought about all those pro sports millionaires who saw their pro careers go down the drain because of foolish decisions like the one he made.
Know it alls like Kellen Winslow, Bobby Hurley, Jay Williams, Casey Rabach, and a host of others. The pro athletic thinks he’s above it all, he’s infallible, well guess what he isn’t.
Jim Lonberg won 22 games in 1967 for the Boston Red Sox then went skiing and met a tree that didn’t know he had just finished a 22-9 season. Then there were folks who went to war for their country and saw their careers for all purposes end.
Cecil Travis was a nine year veteran with the Washington Senators with a career lifetime batting average of .327 before WWII and a sure fire Hall of Famer before but not after his feet were frozen in the Battle of the Budge! Travis in 1941 (his last before WWII) hit .359 with 218 base hits. His 218 hits were more than Ted Williams (who hit .406 that season) and Joe DiMaggio (who hit in 56 straight games that season). But for three seasons after WWII the best he hit was .252 in 1946, a year later Ed “The Walking man” Yost replaced him at third base.
Think of what Ted Williams would have done if he had those years that he lost while serving his Country?
You have the good guys and then you have the goofs who think they are above everyone and oh “It can’t happen to me”, well ask Ben and the others who used a highway as a sliding board.

DOWNPOUR CAN’T COOL OFF PEHRSON
Not even a mid-game downpour could cool off the hot bat of Big Train designated hitter Preston Pehrson (Texas) on Wednesday night at Shirley Povich Field. Bethesda jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first on doubles by Cory Lane (UNC-Charlotte), Steven Leach (Jacksonville State), and Adam Plummer (Pittsburgh/Johnstown). The Bombers got one back in the top of the fourth on a lead-off double by Joel Gonzales (Prince Georges CC) who scored. A downpour halted play for 42 minutes in the fourth. Big Train starter Robby Smithson (Lipscomb) attempted to come back after the delay but he struggled and was relieved by Chris Cullen (Michigan State). A defensive meltdown in the fifth gave the Bombers a 4-3 advantage. The Bombers relief pitcher Mike Castrignano retired three batters in order in the fourth, but then walked the two lead-off batters in the fifth. The Bombers threw away an attempted sacrifice bunt to load the bases for the Big Train’s top hitter, Preston Pehrson. He did not disappoint. Pehrson launched a moonshot home run over the right field fence to give the Big Train a 7-4 lead. Leach walked and scored on an RBI double by Plummer. The Pehrson blast propelled Bethesda back into first place in the first week of play in the Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate Baseball League as the previously undefeated Rockville Express lost to Silver Spring. Cullen picked up the win, striking out three and allowing no earned runs in three-and-one-third innings of relief. Castrignano gave up the grand slam and took the loss.

Bonnie Cullison, President of the Montgomery County Education Association, was on hand to represent the teachers and throw out a ceremonial first pitch. It was Slide Into a Good Book night with author and Washington Post kids columnist Fred Bowen. Free Big Train bookmarks were given to all fans. Librarians from Montgomery County were on-hand to sign-up kids for the County’s summer reading program. It was a Washington Parent Night with Moonbounces, Mini-Golf, and Baseball Toss provided by Talk of the Town. The game night sponsor was Sandy Spring Builders, who managed the construction of Povich Field.

TOO MANY WALKED IN THE PARK TUESDAY
On Tuesday afternoon, the Maryland Redbirds earned their first victory of the season and handed the Big Train its first loss of the season, 6-3. The Redbirds got clutch hits in two big innings that ultimately doomed the Train and ended the win streak. The first rally came in the bottom of the fourth inning when Redbirds shortstop, Brian Schweers (Virginia Wesleyan) led off with a base hit off Big Train starting pitcher, Evan Frederickson (Virginia Tech). The Big Train starter walked the next three batters to force in one run. After striking out the next batter, the Redbirds catcher, Nachion Moore (Radford) smacked a line drive double into right-center field that cleared the bases and put the Redbirds up 4-0.
The Big Train answered with one run in the top of the fifth after shortstop Steven Leach (Jacksonville State), who went 3-4, RBI, and a run scored, started the inning off with a single and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly by second baseman, Cory Lane (UNC-Charlotte). The rest of the Big Train scoring came in the sixth on an RBI double by right fielder Luke Adkins (Southern Mississippi) and an RBI single by Leach. But it wasn’t enough as the Redbirds extended their lead with two runs off relief pitcher Austin Hinkle (Coastal Carolina) in the sixth. After the game Manager Sal Colangelo spoke with the team. “I told them from day one that if they throw strikes that 90% of the time we will the ballgame, but the Redbirds played well and they cashed in on our mistakes. They deserved to win.” Combined, Big Train pitchers allowed eight walks and gave up five hits. Dan Oleynik (Salisbury) picked up the win for the Redbirds, allowing just two earned runs in six innings of work.

Big Train Notes: The Big Train played as the visiting team as the game had been postponed from Monday because of wet field conditions at Bachman Park.
SEVEN PLAYERS return from last year’s Big Train team. They include Adam Redd, a Virginia Tech senior who played a different position each inning in a Big Train exhibition game last Saturday. Bethesda seeks a three-peat season, although some qualifiers are necessary. The Big Train won the 2004 Griffith League championship, and last year was co-champion along with Silver Spring-Takoma in the inaugural season of the Cal Ripken Sr. League. Since its inception, the Big Train has been run as a nonprofit organization. Proceeds benefit the Bethesda Committee Base Ball Club, has raised more than $300,000 to restore baseball and softball fields throughout the Washington, D.C. area since the first Big Train season in 1999. The three Ripken League teams in Montgomery County (Rockville and Silver Spring-Takoma) are based on the same nonprofit model as Big Train. This year, the Ripken League will have the same six franchises that it had last year. That will change, said Alex Thompson former Big Train general manager and now the Ripken League’s executive director. “We won’t be expanding this season, but we are certainly looking to expand to eight, 10, or even 12 teams in the next few seasons.”
One of the goals, said Thompson, is to make the Ripken League a destination for Maryland vacationers. He points to the Cape Cod League, one of the premier collegiate summer baseball leagues, which attracts all types of vacationers, not just the baseball fanatics. ”We have two phenomenal cities that are our anchor base [and] we have all these great things that make Maryland a destination,” Thompson said. “I think it’s a natural fit.”
BAYSOX REPORT
‘SOX COME OFF IN EIGHTH, BEAT PORTLAND, 8-4
Baysox Beat Sea Dogs For First Time This Season
Wednesday evening the Baysox and Sea Dogs played a much closer game than the one a night previous. Both teams were deadlocked at four through seven frames of baseball but this time the home team would pull away in the 8th inning and never look back as the Baysox outhit and outscored the visiting Sea Dogs for the first time this season.
Fresh off an eight inning shutout, James Johnson went just six innings but gave up home runs to both Luis Jimenez and Brandon Moss. The New York native only struck out one batter, uncharacteristic of his outings but tonight Johnson had some run support.
Portland’s Jimenez hit a solo shot to lead off the 2nd inning and Moss added his solo shot in the 3rd for a two run lead. But Bowie narrowed the lead in the bottom of the 3rd . After singling up the middle, Ryan Hubele scored from second compliments of a Gera Alvarez singled into left field.
Portland, however, came back with two in the 4th as they got they loaded the bags with the first three batters and scored on a sac fly and a bases loaded walk to jump the lead to 4-2 in favor of the visitors.
But the Baysox bullpen would hold the Sea Dogs at four runs while their offense kept scoring runs. Pete Shier smacked the first pitch he saw in the 5th inning into left field for a double and scored on Tony Alvarez’ successive RBI single. Alvarez moved to second on a two out Leo Daigle single and scored from second on two wild pitches thrown by Sea Dog starter Luis Mendoza.
Bowie struck again in the 7th for one more insurance run. Cory Keylor reached on a fielding error as Portland’s SS David Bacani got underneath Keylor’s pop up but dropped the ball in the infield. That would prove very useful as the right-fielder would end up scoring on two singles off Portland reliever Randy
Beam. Beam was replaced by Jonathan Searles in the bottom of the 7th with two outs and got Tripper Johnson swinging to end the threat. However, after holding Portland to no runs in the top of the 8th the home team unleashed on the Sea Dogs bullpen.
Hubele led off with his second single up the middle of the game, stole second and was knocked on a Tony Alvarez ground rule double into right center. Gera Alvarez knocked in Tony with a single into shallow left field that Bacani laid out for but was deep enough to send a moving Tony Alvarez to the plate from second base. After Searles was replaced with Mike Bumatay Keylor drew a walk, Daigle singled Keylor to second and Noah Hall plated the Ohio grad on the Baysox 16th hit of the ball game. Daigle was thrown out trying to reach third base on the play to end the inning.
Portland brought up their 2-3-4 hitters but Baysox closer, Marino Salas, shut the door on all threw getting Moss to fly out to left, caught Chad Spann looking and blew strike three right past Jimenez with an 92 mph heater to end the ball game and secure the Baysox 28th victory of the year in front of 1,770 fans.
ON DECK: Thursday night will be the rubber match of the series between the two teams. LHP Richard Stahl will look to escape out of his seven game losing skid and RHP Kason Gabbard, the Sea Dogs best pitcher will seek to ensure that does not occur. Game time is set for 7:05 pm.
WE GET LETTERS…
Bill,
Thanks Bill, just sent Jimmy a post updating him about Donnie and Mo Mirman a few others. We played in the 53 All High All Prep game and won 6 to 5. Believe he was named the outstanding player in that game.
John
Dear John,
You guys were great.
Bill
Uncle Bill -
Did you see that fight? That was a great fight - selfishly I’m sorry to see Bernard retire. Emanuel Stewart stated on the night of the fight that he’s been telling Bernard for years that he’d be great at light heavyweight.
This is actually probably the best for Hopkins - he seems to still have most of his wits, he can avoid the duhhhh factor as he ages, he will help many young fighters be their absolute best and he’ll hopefully help bring respect to the ring.
Bill
Dear Bill,
Great fight! A little closer I thought than the judges cards showed.
Bill
Bill,
Hopkins has a great will to win, however is not on my list of great middleweights. Try Robinson (the best) Ray Leonard would have found a way to beat Hopkins, although 160 wasn’t his best weight,Tony Zale, Marcel Cerdan. As for light heavy’s Charles, Bobby Foster were better. Foster probably the hardest hitter the division ever had. He was ill advised to move up to heavyweight, couldn’t take the punishment from the big boys.
Jim
Dear Jim,
Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest fighter, pound for pound, ever to climb into the squared circle.
Bill
Bill,
I still think Tarver won that fight, and certainly didn’t lose by that lopsided a margin. Maybe that’s why they don’t pay me to judge prize fight.
Jim
Dear Jim,
I like Hopkins but like you I didn’t think it was that lopsided.
Bill
Dear Bill,
Would You Be So Kind To Include The Ehs Reunion Announcement In Your Column & E-Mail Address List.
We Will Send You An Announcement In First Part Of July, September & October.
We Are Looking Forward To Meeting You At The Reunion. You Will Be Receiving A Reunion Reservation Form In Mid July.

God Bless,

Bill,
Think Pat misses Magic, Kareem and Worthy? Mechanics aren’t worth a s— without their tools.
Jim
Dear Jim,
You bet!
Bill
Bill, don’t know if Jimmy sent you this or if I did. ha Anyway here it is
John, thought you might get a hee haw. Bert Sugar and me at the reunion of the Wilson HS city championship football team of 1952 taken in Oct. of 2004. Herzbrun and Sommers are still patting themselves on the back. Hard to put up with those clowns. They were pretty good though, I have to admit. Kicked the crap out of my boys at Griffith Stadium to win the championship.
Jim
Bill,
Think Pat misses magic, Kareem and Worthy? Mechanics aren’t worth a s… without their tools.

Dear Jim,
You bet!
Bill
Bill,
Veep of my last two years of high school classes is enough for me. Thanks for the thought though. I was president for 7 years of the Orange County Rush Limbaugh Fan Club from 94 to 2000. Met all sorts of neat people and high politicians and talented individuals. Sean Hannity is my favorite talk show host. Guess you found me out.
Ruthie
Dear Ruthie,
You are the greatest. You always were first class and a real Bethesda Beauty.
Bill
Bill,
I know you’ll find this hard to believe, but I totally agree with you in regard to Steve McNair and the Ravens. As a devoted Ravens fan, I sense this marriage between “Airless” and the Ravens is headed for a quick divorce. Whether anyone likes Kyle Boller or not, it’s not the kid’s fault he spent more time on his back than a “Vegas Brothel Bunny” last season. McNair will fair no better behind Baltimore’s porous offensive line.
In fact, McNair has been quite vulnerable to injury and ache the past three seasons. One subject that I would like to hear your input on is in regard to the handling of Boller in this fiasco. As all of us know, the Ravens have been trying to land McNair for the past few months. Let’s face it; Kyle Boller knows this has been going on.
I’m not so naïve to consider the NFL a game; it’s a business. However, Boller has done all that he is capable of doing. He’s given 100%. He’s lifted his carcass off the field after being plastered, he’s practiced hard, AND he’s faced the media in the locker room after every game (the same cannot be said for “Raghead”). Unfortunately, Boller is not talented enough to be a top line, NFL starting quarterback.
That said, he is good enough to be a serviceable #2 slinger in this league for many years to come. However, given the treatment he’s received by the Baltimore fans, who demand the rein carnation of Johnny Unitas to walk on the field, and the Ravens brass in this latest debacle, Boller will seek fairer treatment in 2007. Oh, and by the way, McNair is not the answer. I’m glad to see we are thinking in harmony.
Rex Snider
Dear Rex,
Good report!
Bill
