On the eve of my (first) ACL surgery at age 16, I got to meet Dave Parker at the Astrodome. It was at this game that he made best use of the modified football helmet MLB allowed him to wear to protect a fractured cheekbone, coming in face-and-shoulders into Astro catcher Reggie Baldwin on a play at the plate, literally putting the lights out on Baldwin’s playing career.

Bio

I live and work in the North Georgia mountains and have a 5-minute commute—by bicycle. I grew up in Clear Lake City, TX, a short distance from Mission Control. Played briefly in summer league with Jay Buhner and for a couple of months in JUCO with Roger Clemens. Went to UT-Austin, class of 1984. Baseball national champs my last year there. PhD from Georgia, 1990. Also baseball national champs my last year there. Might just be an odd coincidence.
