Literally.  I Googled my name to see what was up with me lately and found a link to the sports page of the Prescott Courier, dated August 2, 1979.  And it reminded me of this long forgotten event over 30 years ago:

John McCrarey belted a two-run homer to give National Association of Letter Carriers their first lead, and Randy Cox tripled and scored the winning run on Steve Huddleston’s sacrafice as NALC beat Yavapai Title, 10-6 in slow pitch county tournament action.

Heh.  I was not by any means a power hitter, my forte was screaming liners down the right field line, often good for doubles and the occasional triple.  Still, in the day I was quite a fanatic about the game. 

Yes I was a mailman and the local union president in Prescott, Arizona back then.  So of course the NALC sponsored our team.  I think I still have my jersey packed away somewhere back in the states.

So, thanks Google for the unexpected and pleasant memory from days gone by.

Geez, I’m such an old-timer.
