My thanks to Keith for sitting down with Chief Larry and me to do the following Buzzy Podcast:
Note that at the beginning of our talk we try to recall our Little League Ridge Orioles’ teammates in the photo below. (I did a previous post on how there were 4 sets of brothers and 3 sets of cousins pictured in this team photo.)
Missing from the photo unfortunately was our Manager Chuck Titus else there would have been 3 Titus’s in the pic. As it was, there 3 Raleys, 3 Ridgells and 3 Woodburns present.
Back row: Coaches Ralph Woodburn and Lindy McKay.
Third row: Joey Titus, Ray Raley, Dan Raley, Rocky Woodburn and Pat Woodburn
Second row: J. Scott Ridgell, Steve Ridgell, Ron Ridgell, Ralph Owens, Ted Yeatman
First row: Robert Earl Radford, Tom Titus, Keith Raley, Leo Peacock, Cricket Dameron
Photo of Keith and me where I am wearing my Orioles’ Korean T-shirt in recognition of Hyun-soo Kim. It wasn’t that I was a big fan of him, but that I just happened to be at a game where they gave away these T-shirts in his honor.
This great tune here was written and produced by Tim Reid who also sat down with us recently to film a couple of upcoming baseball-related Buzzy Podcasts. (Tim was in the area visiting here from his home in Boca Raton Florida when he stopped in Buzzy’s and we got to talking baseball. Stay tuned and I will be telling you more about Tim and our upcoming podcasts with him.)

P.S. Since filming this Podcast with Keith shortly after the All Star break, the Orioles cleaned house by trading several players and now stand 10 games below .500 at 51-61. No joy to be had in Birdville.
