Bedlam Baseball: Kicking Up Memories
By John Helsley
Bonus Bedlam proved to be a hit, with an interesting, intriguing and entertaining game delivered in the first on-campus Bedlam baseball game since 1996.
Beautiful night. Big flies. Big plays. Big blunders. Big crowd.
Left me wanting more. (More on that in Friday’s paper).
And I’m talking more Bedlam on-campus baseball, not more of the other stuff that has at times in this series, shall we say, livened up the action.
The brawl. The beer. The bickering.
In researching the advance story for this game, I came across some classic Tom Holliday quotes concerning Bedlam. And, hey, Holliday was a classic quote, after any game.
I remember going back to the press box after games and reviewing all that Holliday said and fretting over the fact that I couldn’t get it all in the paper. That, of course, was in the days before blogs, where overflow can live a prosperous life.
