Barnstormers Media Day/Open Practice 4/24/08
Parking lot after... two friends and I graphing
Von Hayes 3/5 (3 seems to be his limit)
Boots Day 3/3
Matt LeCroy 5/5 (very cool)
Manny Mejia 2/2
Brian Stavisky 7/7 (very cool)
Ian Bladergroen 6/6 (very cool) one for diamondboy and one for woods1999
Vasili Spanos 6/6 (2 for ringer)
Tim Mc Claskey 4/4 (one for ringer)
Missed some guys because we couldn't identify them but hey..its a great start. My main goals were Stavisky and Le Croy and Bladergroen. All three were really chatty. Note on LeCroy...we didnt recognize him...boy he has more grey hair than my hubby! We were surprised.
Missed some other guys...but we knew them from last year.
All the guys were really cool and talkative . We were talking to Von Hayes about releasing Dominick Ambrosini...( I mean this was our team mvp last year)..he said..."its about making our team better. Defensively he wasn't doing it". I thought that was a very telling sign of his managing style...and something that has been lacking in our teams. He's not going to put up with the lack of effort in some of these guys. It was pretty neat to talk to him...he's a good guy to talk to. He started to sign for my friend and got a phone call...sat in his car talking to Jose Cabrera on the phone but when he got off the phone he signed for us.
