D-League

I used to love listening to Mike Shannon. Mike was associated with the Cardinals either as a player or announcer for 64 years. He is the only person in Missouri high school ball history to win state player of the year in both basketball and football in the same year, yet he played MLB. He was especially entertaining after he had a few beers. He knew everybody so he had loads of stories. He was full of Yogi Berra type stories.
 
When I sat down and opened up my computer it popped up a picture of me from back in the day (it does that sometimes).

This picture is around October 1976 Ft. Sill OK 321st FA OSUT (One Station Unit Training) same unit for both Basic and AIT. Those were the guys I used to hang out with. The guy just above me (Aponte) was the only person to ever beat me in the 2-mile run during the PT test my whole career in the Army. Happened only once. I never let it happen again.
