No Bull it was almost a perfect nite

I left Georgia and headed to Raleigh to meet up with Bob Neill.  Timed it almost exact for him to get home from work.  After some nice BBQ burgers we headed back to see the Durham Bulls. 
  Calling a little leaguer out.  You got to get the bat off your shoulder to get a hit!
  There was a real Crash Davis, not just Kevin Costner in the movie.

  Another small crowd, but this was well before the game.

  The mascot Wool E Bull
  I hit the bull, but I did not get a steak!

  Ignore the spelling error of the number 6 hitter and notice who is leading off for the Norfolk Tide.  Yes, that is Carl's grandson.

Norfolk changed pitchers a couple of times but had a combined PERFECT game going into the 9th inning.  They then brought in former Detroit Tigers reliever, Tom Gorzelanny.  After 1 out, a sharply hit ball to the 3rd baseman was misplayed for an error to break up the perfect game.  The next batter got a single to end the no-hitter.  I was rooting for the perfect game as I have never even seen a no-hitter.

  1. They mis-spelled "Corban Joesph" but they also described the pitcher as being "ON THE BUMP"?

  2. If a "Crash" Davis baseball card exists, I bet Mike not only has one, but has discovered there is a variation of the card as well.
