cyberjudge Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 How soon they forget. Tug McGraw was indeed a World Series winner on the '80 Phils ... but Tugger also was on a World Series winner in 1969 with the Miracle Mets (even though he did not pitch in that series)!
Brad_M Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 I found a pic online of Tug from that memorable 1969 World Series game.
miamisammy29 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 METS SUCK!! However, Tug McGraw was very cool. I met him back in '78, I think. He was the guest speaker at our annual Little League banquet. He drove up in his "Screwgie Van", and brought his half-naked stripper girlfriend with him. Aye, carumba!!
Carl Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 He drove up in his "Screwgie Van", and brought his half-naked stripper girlfriend with him. That's the kind of thing that will make you a legend to 12-year-old boys. Don't you love it when an inappropriate role-model slips through?
miamisammy29 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Did I mention that he was totally sh*tfaced on whiskey and cola?....(and who knows what else?) :happybanana:
