We can only dream

Ok freaks, we are heading to the land of make believe and searching for some dream pitching match ups/ battery mates/ teammates that we would have like to seen on the field together. When I watch a game, its a small thing like a play on the players names that make a lasting memory of that game, not the guys who grounded out to second. So its with a little tongue in cheek I give you some of my favorites I've seen or dreamt of.



phil COKE vs john SMILEY
You'll have the whole world smiling with you during this game.



colter BEAN(s) vs jim RICE
"Everybody sing now!"
Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice, make everything nice.
Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice, I could eat a plate twice.
So nice, nice, nice.


bud BLACK vs vida BLUE
The 330 wins between them surely bruised some opposing players egos.


dan QUISENBERRY vs darryl STRAWBERRY
You can order a Quisenberry Quench or a Strawberry Beach smoothie from Tropical Smoothie. Refreshing and good for you too! Enjoy !


jim LYTTLE relay throw to roy SMALLEY
It's a "little" bit of a stretch, sue me.


bill SHORT vs terrance LONG .
Talk about a Short career 5-11 era 4.73 Long came up short on promise.


Josh BOOTY vs ralph GARR
It's a shame neither played for the Pirates.


tim RAINES vs curt FLOOD
Tim was a natural at stealing bases. Curt opened the 'gates' of Free Agency


ernie BANKS vs don MONEY
It was money in the bank that when opening a pack of Topps cards in 1978 and always getting Two Don Money cards and no Reggie Jacksons. I was not a happy 11 year old.



PABLO torrealba vs jose ESCOBAR
You'd have to be on drugs to know anything about these players careers.
Pablos 1979 Topps card looks like he's been arrested.










purnal GOLDY vs don LOCKS
If you were alive in the 60's you were lucky enough to see these guys play.
Purnal was not beary good, he played only one year.



the sportsfreak wishes you sweet baseball dreams.
G'nite Freaks.
