OG with 15 tonight in a preseason W against the Pels - 6 of 11 and 3-7 from 3

I want to expand on Carl Erskine a tad. I don't know how many years ago it was because I am getting old. But I got called into the office to get a job assignment. It was in Anderson and it was Erskine elementary school. At first the name didn't register...but it didn't take long as I remember my Dad talking about Carl Erskine in my youth and what a great pitcher he was. So I go down to Anderson to take a look at the job as my company was hired to do the siding on the school. The school wasn't ready for us to start our job.......but the baseball field was done. So I am standing outside looking and trying to figure out a time frame as to when I could get my crew there. I was smoking a cigarette when I hear this voice..."Son, you need to give up that nasty habit". I spun around and there is this old guy. I said Sir this is a construction site do you have permission to be here? He said I hope so this is my land or at least it was. I asked why he had lost it. He said he didn't, he had donated it to the Anderson community schools. Then it all made sense to me. I said Sir, are you Carl Erskine? He said yes in the flesh. To make a long story short, I have his autograph. And he checked on our progression weekly as far as the siding always giving me hell about my smoking. You can see the school from I-69 from the south bound lane. Helluva a guy. So if you see the school think of me putting siding on and meeting Carl Erskine. BTW, he did throw 2 no-hitters. An Indiana legend that doesn't get talked about nearly enough.

HH will never admit he's wrong his profession doesn't allow it.. lol haha. His love for PG and RoJo is stalker level. lol haha. I kid HH. One more for you.

At some point you're gonna have to admit it...Pacers killed it on that trade.
