Sunday Night Post....ON MONDAY!

Well here's the thing just didn't have time last night to get a post in.  So I am moving Sunday nights post to now.  I didn't receive anything in the mail today which totally breaks my streak. I had a suspicious feeling that today was going to be the end.    Now for some more in depth interview with Bobby Gene Smith

What is your biggest thrill?
My biggest thrill happened between the Cardinals and Cincinnati when I hit a home run off Art Fowler in my third at bat in the majors.

Who were your favorite players?
My favorite players were a pitcher named Harvey Haddex from Pittsburgh and Harry Storey (Portland Beavers)


What is your favorite play in your career?
My favorite play was my home run in my third at bat in the majors

Who had the most infuence on your career?
During my third year with St. Louis Cardinals organization, I was discouraged with my progress.  I remember a conversation with Bing Devine that helped turn things around for me.  He suggested that I give it my all for one more year and then decide. The next year I hit.370 and drove in 141 runs in 141 games.

"In ending he said "In those days, there were only 16 Major League Baseball teams and I feel fortunate to have enjoyed some success on five of those teams."

Thanks for reading, and on a side note I will be out of town for about a week so there may not be any post don't fret I'll return again soon!
