Ave, in a house whose owners rented it out each year to Minnesota Twins players. (Don Mincher had also lived there one year.) My dad had taken me to a Twins game, and I saw Dwight pitch a game. He had a daughter named Laurie Ann who kept on coming over to my back door asking me to come out and play. Finally I was invited to his home by her, and met Dwight and his wife. I recall he was rather tall and very pleasant looking. I was rather awed to meet this big league pitcher whom I had just seen pitch a game at Met Stadium.

I remember one game in spring training he fanned 8 batters in a row, came into the dugout, ate half a pot roast dinner and fanned 8 more. One of the greatest athletes to ever walk this earth.

I'll be shaking my fist at Orioles PBP announcer Jim Hunter, who pointed out last night that Shelley Duncan is the only member of Cleveland's current active roster who was born before 1982 (my year of birth).
