Former MSBL World Series teammate of mine a hall of fame coach in Indiana

A former teammate of mine at the Men's Senior Baseball League World Series is kind of a legend in Indianapolis. Lefty Phil Webster, 74, who may join our pitching staff on our 65-and-over Tucson Aces for the 2016 MSBL World Series in Phoenix, is the man with the "cutter" -- his favorite pitch.

Looking forward to him joining our team next year. Of course, I have nothing in writing, but he put the bug in my ear that it'll be a possibility. Our Aces team went 3-2 and finished ninth last week at the 2015 World Series.

Nothing wrong with looking ahead.

Below is a recent article on Phil and his background.
