First Pitch Surprise
The Tigers just started sending me their game notes (I believe The Daily Fungo once reported how to download them daily). I’ll try to post them as time allows. In the “tidbits” section is something that is near and dear to my heart: Dale Clark of Rochester High School is throwing out the first pitch tonight!
Unless there are more then one Dale Clarks from RHS, this is my old high school football and baseball coach. I played both sports and went to school with his son Jason as well, going back to middle school. Wish I could attend the game but flights would be expensive. Coach Clark’s most famous quote to us was, in a JV football game against Southfield Lathrop, “When you have the other team down… you have to kick them in the balls!”. I’ll never forget that.
So if anyone is at the game, give an extra special cheer for the first pitch. Unless its a different Dale Clark. Then just clap politely.
