Bob Gibson, Tim McCarver, Bob Uecker, Ken Boyer, Julian Javier, Curt Boyer, Lou Brock, Mike Shannon . . .

Those names came out of my memory from the mid to late 60's.  Surprise!
I was a big Cardinals' fan due to the influence of my brother Glen, who was very interested in their game.  We listened to games on the car radio a lot.  Anyone else remember that? 

I became an addict.  I would actually keep score during a game.  I knew all the players and lots of players from other teams.  Yep, Lou Brock could steal those bases now!  

When I left for college, I lost baseball and discovered people.  I fell in love with the game of tennis and played for hours at a time.  I continued this until after I was married.  Tennis remained in my life for awhile but I lost tennis. 

I played intramural basketball in college, and I was lousy.  I wasn't good at anything but free throws.  I once won a tournament making 22/25 shots.  My claim to fame.  haha 

I loved Field Hockey in a class I had. 

I played horse shoes with my elderly neighbor and with my brothers at home.

I read a lot and didn't feel I was really a tomboy.  But I practiced hitting balls to my brother so much that I could place them where he wanted them to go.

I played on a softball team after we were married, at Plato.

When Phil met me, he thought I was a jock.  So he told me the other day.  Not true.  Just loved sports.

Also loved card games.  Love interaction.
