Yeah, Jeff's dad would sit on a pail in their backyard and catch his pitches. I would occasionally stand in as a batter...well off the plate I might add. 🤣David Vest was pretty good. If you needed somebody to come out of the dugout in a fight. LOL
Steve Baker and I were playing long toss in the street in front of his house one time, and Jeff Parrott walked over. We were just talking and he told me take a few "tosses" from him. After three or four I said **** this. I didn't even have a mitt. that was terrifying. This was when he'd graduated from UK and had played a season in Cape Cod.
