Not to be confused with Dan Driessen, the famous slugger, who is often confused with my older brother Dan Driessen –but the baseball name D_R_I_E_S_S_E_N, should not be mispelled E_I, and switch hitted & corrected in the fourth paragraph bold heading!

Grand slam signals from the catcher, out!
With chew,

I think it was 1989 or 1990, and the Brew Crew were playing an inter-league game with the California Angels that day. For those of you who never had the pleasure of experiencing smelly old County Stadium, it was a gloomy, dirty, primitive, mosterous, beautiful place to see a ballgame. There were these terrifying staircases leading to the upper deck. I remember that there was a wall of chain link between the stairs the massive parking lot to keep people falling into the abyss. My grandfather had sent me tickets so I could see the Angels' one-handed rookie Jim Abbot pitch. I'll never forget how amazing it was to see a one-handed pitcher. Here's how he did it: he balanced a right-handed glove on his left arm (the arm with no hand). After he threw the ball, he would quickly slip his right hand into the glove and be ready to field the ball if it ever came his way.
