I was a season ticket holder in Battle Creek. That's given me no emotional stake in the successor franchise, Great Lakes--and I rooted against the Springfield and Madison predecessor franchises when they actually existed. I've now transferred my loyalties mostly to the Lugnuts, and I root against the Loons.

Matching iron man attempts, Bill Bauernfeind of Michigan City and Joe Schaffernoth of Paris opposed each other in both games of a Midwest League double-header, August 21.

So, where are we? We still need to fill in the gap between his playing career and his managerial career (that one will be hard unless I find the information in a South Bend program), and there are a couple one-year gaps where he was likely on some team's coaching staff (I can usually solve those). The pitching coach stint looks like I miscopied something, which has happened before. Loose ends: Was he working in baseball this summer? Did Patterson really play in the minors for three years; if so, where and when? And I need a couple biographical details: What do those initials stand for? When and where was he born? (I'm betting on Mobile, probably in 1955 or thereabouts.) Finally, we still need won/lost records for the partial season at Greensboro, his collegiate teams, and the winter league stints; that will be some other year's project, methinks.

The mid-90s Padres were a formidable team, and for two summers Cami outshone Gwynn and Rickey. Quite an accomplishment.

That voluntary mid-season job change is really quite unusual. But changing schools has been Mosiello's norm; except for a fairly long stint at Oklahoma, he's made a habit of moving to another university after a couple years.
