Gotcha. I was long gone by then but still have a couple of those Reyn Spooner shirts. Wish they fit. Was my first gig and spent 7.5 years there thru HS and college. Had some great times and many close friends.

Volkswagen was the baseball team to beat when I was a wee tot. I ended up on a shitty team that I can't even remember the sponsor now. I think we won 2 games. Volkswagen had underwood, Kolb, Humble, Dollar, Stites and I want to say brister too.

Nobody was beating them

Stites was a beast. He was the meanest 10 year old kid I have ever seen. We beat him in little league because we earned him every time he came up. I was the catcher so I had a front row seat to his dad, Franklin, losing his mind over it.

Frank went over to our asst coach, Billy Daniels, and screamed "How is the kid supposed to learn how to hit?"

Daniels spit out some Beechnut and says "Batting practice."

In Dixie League, he told Gannaway(our pitcher) that he was gonna hit two home runs off him that night. He did. Stites hits a solo and a two run shot to beat us 3-2. Gannaway was suicidal after the game
