I Almost Killed Rick Hodge

June 24, 2008 @ 00:00

It was March of 1989, I was in Dunedin covering Blue Jays spring training and I was staying at the same hotel as Rick Hodge.

We sat through a couple of games at Grant Field together, and when the subject of the next day’s game in Sarasota came up, we agreed to travel together. I would drive.

Late he next morning Rick met me in the parking lot and we embarked.

We got into a great conversation that I gives me no recollection at this point, but it was shortly after we entered the Sarasota city limits that it happened,

Caught up in a story that Hodgy was telling me, I didn’t notice that the light had changed.

I was going full tilt boogy into an intersection that was a “no go” zone for me and at the last minute Rick grabbed my arm and said, “What are you doing, it’s red.”

I slammed on the binders and came to a halt just in time.

Just in time to ensure the legacy that is Roger, Rick and Marilyn.

Looks like lots of xbox enthusiasts here, I am a fan too and enjoy to play games… my girl says I play too much, but man it’s so enjoyable. I’ve been playing callofduty: mw2 and halo 3 for half a year and can’t quit! What would you gamers recommend? In any case, seems like a good website, is this wordpress? I’ve created a few pages myself and it’s not easy. Thanks for taking time to post.

I have been reading your articles during my lunch break, and I have to admit the whole article has been very valuable and very well written. I thought I would let you know that for some reason this blog does not view well in Internet Explorer 8. I wish Microsoft would stop changing their software.

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly. Regards, Sharda.
