Doc

I'm a little dissapointed to find that amidst all talk about former Bulldogs that played professional baseball there's no mention anywhere about a former Butler pitcher named Doc.
For those of you that didn't know...
The pitcher formerly known as Doc, signed a professional contract in March of 2004 to play for "Mr. Perfect," Tom Browning and his fledgling Florence Freedom Baseball Organization. The pitcher formerly known as Doc floundered about the short season circuit after losing his final three years of elegibility when he declared for the draft as a Redshirt Freshman.
Doc then found himself a niche, in MLB Canada where he put up four and a third innings of dynamite fastballin'. It was then, when he found himself another home, this time going south of the border, where he attempted to gain citizenship in Ecuatorial Guinea to play for the national team in the WBC. It was here where he was to make his triumphant comeback back in the states. Unfortunately the Doc got himself into money troubles when he accidently drove his 1982 Chevy Nova into a pig farm, killing seven of the swine instantly and leaving two more fatally wounded.
It was then that Doc met former Major-Leaguer Tom Browning. Browning gave Doc many motivational speeches enabling to move forward from his failed past and to once again strive to accomplish his dream of one day playing professional baseball.
After two months of playing for the Florence Freedom Doc wanted to restructure his contract. However, the effort was of no avail, for the Freedom refused to meet Doc's demands. He was told that his skill on the hill wasn't worth the $850.00 a month he was asking for.
Doc's story of trial and tribulation on the ball field had finally come to a close.
Doc now coaches in the Cincinnati Fall Baseball League where he has been referred to as the white Ozzie Guillen. |

Why do we coach
If we can make a difference in one young man it's well worth it.
The Star Thrower
There was a man who was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of starfish had been washed up on the shore. He noticed a boy picking the starfish one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. The man observed the boy for a few minutes and then asked what he was doing boy replied
that he was returning the starfish to the sea, otherwise they would die.The man asked how saving a few, when so many were doomed, would make any difference whatsoever? The boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean and said "Made a difference to that one..."
The man left the boy and went home, deep in thought of what the boy had said. He soon returned to the beach and spent the rest of the day helping the boy throw starfish in to the sea....

Rudy, Mantino -
I'm writing to inform you of your dismissal from the team. Please come to room 304 to turn in your jerseys. To Get to room 304, take the north stairway three floors up. Do not make any spastic turns into doors marked "Employee only". Follow the hallway three paces, and turn to the left. Door 304 will be marked with a small numeric indicator and a sign with the tournament schedule.

| I think Pete Fuller was the best player ever at Butler University and that you should convince the coach to offer a full scholarship to lure the talented south paw back |
