Comments - Frank Howard – John Smoltz pitched
the first at-home no-hitter in the 9-year history of the Silver Spring
franchise against the Norfolk Pilots (Game 2, Series 12). It was only the second no-no in franchise
history, Steve Avery (geeze, whatever happened to
him?) pitching the other one on the road a few years ago. Adding
insult to injury, during the no-hitter Smoltz beaned Pilot super-star Larry
Walker, sidelining him for 4 games.
And his replacement in RF, Mark Whiten, wasted no time in crashing
into the wall chasing a fly ball and was injured for the rest of the series. Dave May - Gentlemen of
TCBA-Today. This is your lucky
day. You get the pleasure of dealing
with one of baseball's all-time easy marks, Dr. Dave May. The
guy thinks he's a baseball expert, when in reality, he knows nada. Dealing
with Dave is like taking candy from a baby.
So count your lucky stars and be joyful this holiday season, 'cause
Santa just delivered your answer to an easy mark! Here is Dr. Dave's bio below, read
it, laugh out loud and then grab a Jenny and think of all those great deals
you're going to make. It was a bone chilly day. On the hilltop stood a single caped figure,
silhouetted against the waning light of the evening. The lonely masked man's cape silently
waving in the gentle breeze of the coming darkness. Who
is this man, dressed in black, wearing a sabre on his hip? Could it be? Might it be? Nah, it's just Doc May, dressed funny for
some Halloween party. Dr. Dave May, the current GM of
the Niagara Falls Toxins is the junior member of TCBA Yesterday league. Dave has been married to his wife of 25
years, Mary and they have 2 teenage sons.
He admits to being 50 years old, but claims that the calendar really
lies about his age, he contends he feels more like 25 than 50. His birthday is (yes, you guessed it) in
May and he was born in Buffalo, NY and grew up in the surrounding area. Dave was a lieutenant for the
Niagara Falls PD, and had been a police officer for over 24 years until his
retirement in (yup, you guessed right)
May of '98. He has a Ph.D. in
management and various other degrees covering a myriad of subjects (how many
cops do you know who are also doctors?).
He is retired from the US Army Reserve (Master Sergeant)
and also served in the US Navy during the 60s. Dave has served his community for 14 years
as an elected official, holding office as a member of the local school board
and recently retiring from the county legislature. He also is the president of an investment
club. When asked to describe himself,
Dave's answer is, "Many individuals have remarked that I bear a strong
resemblance to Dan Quayle, the former Vice President, but only 20 pounds
heavier. Hobbies include baseball (both as
a participant and in a fantasy league and APBA league); he has served as the
commissioner of one fantasy league and belongs to an APBA league in which he
is the newsletter editor. He plays
tennis (won several police state tournaments in doubles), golf (a 9 handicapper)
and collects many interesting items such as baseball cards (over 100,000 of
them), Hummels (lots of them) and other unusual
collectibles. Baseball is Dave's first
love. He was a pretty darn good player
in his day, but decided that military life was his calling. His involvement in TCBA can only be
interpreted as returning to that first love.
Dave promises to make the upcoming season for his team a memorable one
and that the team will be competitive. |
