All I have to do is google Chase and you, the results speak volumes. Why do you think I’m angry, wound up and not okay. You’re the one who is always bragging about your ”baseball career.” I’m just pointing out that I knew one of the greats and he would’ve thought you were an idiot. I’m not angry at all, just proud that I knew a such a good guy, kinda like a second dad. A man who didn’t want to be remembered for his success, just that he wanted to go out knowing that he was kind and gentle to everyone who knew him. BTW, Chase didn’t have boisterous tough man laugh or chuckle, instead he had an infectious giggle. So many good memories of a guy just trying to be the best human he could be.
Guys like him love guys like me because we work. If you think he would have thought I’m an idiot you didn’t really know him or me. If you think he was kind and gentle on the field you don’t know the game. If you think he was a good ballplayer you don’t know the game. He was in the minors for 20+ years. That would have been a brutal existence. He coached when coaches didn’t make much money. He was a bird dog for the Cardinals if you even know what that means. I’ll bet he was a motherf*cker to play for and that’s why they loved him and that’s why he was successful. That’s back when ball players were guys. Your ignorance is offensive to the very few of us that know the game. Put your red nose back on
