OLD SCHOOL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Bud Anderson

Our large adult son, Karl Adam "Bud" Anderson, appeared in 64 games over two seasons with the Cleveland Indians (82 & 83), and posted a record of 4-10, with a 3.68 ERA, and a 114 ERA+. And that's not all that bad (or not as bad as most of the players we feature in this segment), which is why it's a little odd that he just up and vanished after two seasons. Surely there has to have been a market for burly, walrus-faced, ball-throwing relief mammals at that time. Alas, Bud retired and became an assistant baseball coach at WT Clarke High School in East Meadow, NY. While it's not the destiny we'd hoped our glazed, mustachioed ham in a baseball uniform would reach, it is a perfect place for that 80-grade DADHAT to end up.

OLD SCHOOL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: MARVIS FOLEY

Marvis Edwin Foley, was a backup catcher who played in part of five seasons with the White Sox and Rangers in the early 80s. He was mostly unremarkable, aside from his name (which sounds more like he should be one of Aretha Franklin's backup singers than a baseball playist). His glorious caucasian afro was markable, however. Over his illustrious career, he was worth -1 win, mashed 12 taters, had an OPS+ of 72 (not good), and racked up frequent flier miles shuttling between his big league club and the minors. After reading his name, I was stunned to find out that he was actually a burly, hairy, white dude from Kentucky. See: Reggie Willits, Reggie Cleveland, etc.

Marv is currently the roving catching instructor for the Colorado Rockies, and was previously a very successful MiLB coach, as he is the only manager to win titles in all three AAA leagues.
