Ryan Powers at 1st base by Minda Haas Kuhlmann “um...Ryan, what’s going on in your pants?” Coach, i took a bad hop to the cup last game that hurt something awful. I figured i’d double cup, stacking two cups together for more protection.

Rickey Hill was raised in poverty in the area of Fort Worth, Texas. He was born with a degenerative spinal disease and doctors had doubts as to whether he would ever walk normally.

Rickey’s dream of becoming a professional baseball player began when he was a four-year-old with leg braces locked in place. His brother pitched fastballs with rocks and he would sometimes spend "16 hours a day" hitting them with a stick along the railroad tracks, striking as many as 2,000 rocks.

Baseball scout, Red Murff is known for discovering and signing Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan. He called Hill "the best pure hitting prospect he's ever seen." Hill and Red Murff became friends and remained close until Murff's passing in 2008. Hill even spoke at his funeral.

In 1975, at the age of 19, Hill was signed by the Montreal Expos but was released from the team. He played four seasons in the minors before it became too much on his body.

During his final year in the Minors, Hill racked up 64 hits and 15 homers across 63 games for Grays Harbor. Across his four seasons in the Minor Leagues (1975 Lethbridge Expos, 1976 Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings, 1977 Texas City and 1978 Grays Harbor) Hill recorded 205 hits and 26 home runs in 201 games with a .298 batting average.

Born Rickey Glen Hill on August 15, 1956 in Fort Worth, Texas. Through childhood experiences, his father, a Baptist preacher, along with his mother, shaped his character of faith, determination and resilience.

So I was in the very unusual situation of being in a Dick's Sporting goods in Alabama. Maybe this is less unusual for some, but for me, this was like two planets aligning once but every fifty years. I'm usually not one for sports, and "Guardians of the Galaxy" has been a big thing for me lately. How is this all connected? Well, we're getting there.

I walk inside the Dick's, which is near Huntsville. Well, Huntsville has a minor league baseball team. This sporting goods store had a lot of merchandise for this said team. It is vital to this story for me to note that Huntsville is also known as "Rocket City".

Ah, yes. With these tags, I think you might be starting to see where this is going.

May I present Huntsville's minor league baseball team, the Rocket City Trash Pandas:

And they have stuff for the kids on their merch website, too!:

Who's Sprocket? Their mascot, of course!

According to their Wikipedia page, because I HAD to know, they chose their mascot because of the sheer amount of raccoons in Huntsville (which, not a lie), and the intelligence of the raccoon (again, also not a lie).

To that, I say:

On this same trip, I met some of the nicest people in fursuits ever (as well as Colonel Sanders, because Kentucky) at the Corvette museum, The same museum where they'd also lost several cars to a giant sinkhole opening up underneath it some years ago. Also, I met a parrot named Tequila. But those are different stories and have little bearing here. The entire journey was a fever dream, honestly.

tl;dr: a baseball team in Alabama has a Rocket Raccoon homage as its mascot, I have a new favorite shirt, and I'm kind of starting to like baseball, too.

Weird, Timid Heckles I Heard at a Minor League Baseball Game

To explain:

These were from the same person

Tonight was Taco & Tallboy Tuesday

So I think the second thing had a lot to do with it. Anyway, onward:

"You bite KitKats from the side!"

"You try to go to Chick-Fil-A on Sundays!"

"I heard you shower with your socks on." Then a second person in a different section yelled out, "I heard that too!"
