I wonder if he developed some arm trouble between high school and the majors.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-67085333858929878482008-08-29T19:16:00.000-05:002008-08-29T19:16:00.000-05:00I've always wondered what happened to Doug Lindsey...I've always wondered what happened to Doug Lindsey myself. I played against him in high school...he was a senior when I was a sophmore. He wasnt a catcher then, though. He pitched and he could BRING IT. He also had a 12-6 curve that just fell off the table...and that made his low 90s fastball that much tougher to stand in the box against. <BR/><BR/>He wasnt just a baseball player either. He was the district MVP in baseball, football AND basketball.<BR/><BR/>He was a man among boys and there was no doubt in our minds that he'd make it big. Cant believe he only got a handful of at bats.Burthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219758218489433709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-82373432796126033562008-06-03T08:20:00.000-05:002008-06-03T08:20:00.000-05:00That happened to one of my favorite players in the...That happened to one of my favorite players in the early 90s, Don Wakamatsu. I had no clue what happened to him, then I saw him pop up as a coach on the Rangers.<BR/><BR/>Pete Rose Jr. is a perfect example of that. He was even in the White Sox minor league system for a short while.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-59451713301464916572008-06-03T00:38:00.000-05:002008-06-03T00:38:00.000-05:00In the past few years, it has come to my attention...In the past few years, it has come to my attention that a great many baseball players don't make it. There are a lot of guys like Doug Lindsey who get into one or two games in the bigs and that is. Major league career over. Some of these guys go on to long careers in the minors (can you say Pete Rose Jr.?) but I have a sense that most don't Hopefully they've got a college degree in something useful. Maybe they become coaches. I'd like to know what happens to these guys. I've been posting Phorgotten Phillies on my site but its really difficult to find out where these guys end up.capewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028921297568214207noreply@blogger.com
