    Hey, he pitched in my hometown of Lodi!image

    The Total ERA doesn't seem right?

  • BasiloneBasilone Posts: 2,492 ✭✭

    How could his career ERA be 3.83 ??????
  • dudedude Posts: 1,454 ✭✭
    Correct! The Major League Total ERA is wrong.
  • purelyPSApurelyPSA Posts: 712 ✭✭
    I'm guessing the correct total would be 3.38

    Hey 49erfaithful,
    You mentioned your home town was Lodi, Calif.
    That is my home town also.
    I remember watching Rich Nye pitch for the Lodi Crushers back in 1966.
    I was 8 years old.
    I can rember him pitching against the Reno Silver Sox.
    May I ask your name??
    Mine is Kirk Robinson.......I'm 45 today.
    I can't remember what I had for dinner last night, but for some reason I can remember Rich Nye and the Reno Silver Sox back in the summer of 1966. image

    I was going to guess that it was the winning record by a Cubs pitcher (in '67). Actually Holtzman had a 9-0 record that year.
    Working on 1969 through 1975 Basketball.

    Some have accused me of message board tourette syndrome. Don't believe it. I always catch myself in time.

    This thread is what real collecting is all about.

    didnt Credence Clearwater Revival have a song about Lodi?

    "Back in Lodi again" or something?

    Yes, as the story goes C.C. & R's tour bus broke down here in Lodi approx. 1968-69 on Sacramento Street which was Skid Row at the time.
    It still is......for that matter.
    C.C.& R was TOTALLY BROKE and they were literally STUCK IN LODI for a short time period.
    The Fogerty Brothers lived about 90 minutes west of Lodi in the Bay Area.
    I believe the song "STUCK IN LODI" was released around 1970.
    That was kind of COOL back then turning on the radio and hearing that song for the first time, about your little home town of approx. 30,000. people back then.
    As you can imagine, it was a big deal.........people driving around town with Bumper Stickers Reading : I'M STUCK IN LODI, News Stations interviewing the mayor, etc.
    I still have my original 45 record.
    I probably only played the darn thing about 832 times.
    Actually the Flip Side ......."BAD MOON RISING" was a much better song.
    I think I played that one 2,043 times.
    Needless to say I got my money's worth out of that 99c 45.
    Funny story about the "BAD MOON RISING" song.........J. C. Fogerty kind of slurs his words a little on the song, and a lot of people including my mother for years thought that the words that came bellowing from my room were: "THERE IS A BATHROOM ON THE RIGHT".
    John Fogerty alluded to this little known tidbit when he played a MTV or VH1 Unplugged Special a few years ago.
    Probably way more than you ever wanted to know about Lodi, Calif.
    I can still here those words, loud and clear:

    "Don't go down tonight.......It's bound to take your life.......There's a BAD MOON ON THE RISE"!!
    It just might be time for number 2,044. image

    Dude

    How did you find that? Were you sitting on the toilet one morming. Amazing you must be a patient person to study cards like that.

    Stump -- No, I wasn't reading it on the "john". image

    I don't have time much free time on my hands, but when I do look at my cards, I enjoy reading the backs of cards and looking at the player's stats. The '68 Topps baseball set is particularly fun because of the trivia question on each card.
  • IglooIgloo Posts: 47 ✭
    Stump's got a good point. Have you been checked recently for hemmoroids? image

    i think Snoop Dog had a song too.. "Lodi Dodi, we likes to party"

    i think ive driven through Lodi once when I was driving from SF to LA.. (flew to SF, rented a car, checked into a hotel (the FAIRMONT.. cuz I dont play)image , immediately hit the road for 6-7 hour drive to LA (Huntington Beach).. stayed overnight, drove 3 hours to Vegas, stayed overnight, hauled a$$ back to San Fran, stayed 4 more nights, flew back to Jville.. sweet trip.. i think it was almost 1600 miles on the rental car when we was done

    Lodi

    Just about a year ago
    I set out on the road
    Seekin my fame and fortune
    Lookin for a pot a gold
    Things got bad
    And things got worse
    I guess you know the tune

    Oh Lord
    Stuck in Lodi

    Rode in on a greyhound
    But I 'll be walkin out if go
    I was just passin through
    Must be seven months or more
    I ran out of time and money
    Looks like they took my friends

    Oh Lord
    Stuck in Lodi

    A man from the magazine
    Said I was on my way
    Somewhere I lost connections
    I ran out of songs to play
    I came into town a one night stand
    Looks like my plans fell through

    Oh Lord
    Stuck in Lodi

    If I only had a dollar
    For every song I've sung
    Every time I've had to play
    While people set there drunk
    You know I'd catch the next train
    Back to where I live

    Oh, Lord, Stuck in Lodi

    Oh, Lord Stuck in Lodi

    My name is Robert Fromm, I think I went to my first Lodi Dodgers game in 1977 at 7 years old (still have the 1977 LD card set). I still remember guys like Ed Santos, Kelly Snider, Jack Percante, Brad Gulden(I have a cracked bat of his) and Candy Maldanado. I've lived in the Lodi/Woodbridge area all my life, I wish we still had a minor league team. Good times, it's probably why I started collecting.
    I like being stuck in Lodi!image

  • mojorobmojorob Posts: 392 ✭✭
    Robert,
    Where in Woodbridge do you live....if I may ask??
    I have built a couple dozen or so homes in the Woodbridge area, Bridgetown etc.
    What do you like to collect??
    Kirk
  • 49erfaithful49erfaithful Posts: 31 ✭
    Kirk, I live in Lodi but I grew up in Woodbridge (Vincent Ct.) and I work there now as a rural carrier (until my true calling comes along!) . You hiring! I deliver in the Del Rio, River Meadows and Windwood Subdivisions. I really only collected whatever new came out until the last couple years, now I'm just going to concentrate on the 1977 baseball, football and basketball sets in PSA 8 or better.

    Yeah they weren't stuck in Lodi NJ...although some WABC Transmitter engineers might
    adapt that song for Lodi NJ image
    ebay:1967topps
    1967and 1973 Topps baseball wantlists (any condition) welcome. Once had the #14 ATF 1967 set. Yet another collector like skylaneflyer, gimel1 who made it to the completion of 1967 only to need the money more than the company of 609 close friends.
    Looking for oddball Norm Cash and Cleon Jones stuff, and 1956 team cards
