Barry and I played alot of little league baseball together. He was the best little leage pitcher I ever saw. I watch a lot of little leage these days (grandson), Coached my kids etc. But Im still waiting to see a pitcher as good as Barry. His dad, Cal was one of my softball heros as well.
So long Barry, See you on the Field of Dreams.
