For all the studs in P-cola right now, the Pelicans are a fun little team to go watch. Cheap beer and cheap seats, and they always had some sort of cool promotion going on. Granted, my brother in law worked for them while I lived there, so I got everything for free, but it was still a good time.

I think they are still playing at West Florida's field, but are supposed to move downtown when that big park gets built.

Joe Garagiola was once a catcher in the majors, but didn't make it big. With a great sense of humor and an ability to laugh at himself, he became a very successful anouncer. His favorite story:

Coach; "I got a new mitt for Garagiola".

GM; "You made a good trade".

The only player with better stories is Bob "Front Row" Uecker.

"Juuuuust a bit outside..."

Three favorite Uecker quotes:

"Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat."

and

"In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the Bigs."

and finally:

"I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for $3,000. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn't have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up."

I'm a fan of both the Lansing Lugnuts and in particular the Montgomery Biscuits.

Bob Uecker calling the game in "Major League";

"He leads the league in nose hair. When he sneezes he looks like a party favor."
