NuttyBuddy

Former MLB pitcher Mark Littell is taking the phrase "stand behind your product" rather literally...

And if you can't get enough of Littell's NuttyBuddy taking a 90 m.p.h. fastball at point blank range, then here's another video for you viewing amusement.

Chairman said...: Gotta admit - watching guys get plunked in the nuts is something that I cringe whenever I see. But, it also makes me laugh every time.

Best part? Former Red great Chris Sabo at the end.; July 15, 2009 at 12:36 AM
Greg McConnell said...: Yeah, Sabo was so unexpected in there. He does a great job relating that story, too.; July 15, 2009 at 11:46 PM

My Baseball History

The first year that I really started paying attention to Major League Baseball was 1990. I was 10 living in Ohio and my favorite team was the Cincinnati Reds. As it turned out, the Reds started that season 9-0 and the excitement pulled this 10-year-old boy along for the ride. I remember quite a bit from that season, including the Reds' eventual sweep of the Oakland A's in the World Series.

The lesson I took from that season was that dreams can come true. Of course, given what's happened to the Reds in the many years that followed, I've learned that nightmares can come true too. ;-)

I've since moved to Chicagoland and now follow the White Sox, Cubs, and Reds. In general, I'm just a baseball fan who enjoys the beauty of the game no matter which teams are playing.
