The bullpen car..................

edmundfitzgerald · July 10, 2008 5:12AM

Does anyone remember the bullpen car that would bring relievers in ? I think they were widely used in the 70's.
Does anyone remember when they stopped using these ? Does anyone have a picture of what they used to look like ? TIA

I heard that this is how they are going to bring Ryan Howard to the plate now. BAM

The bullpen car sounds nuts. Thank god I wasn't alive in the 70's.

What ever happened to Javy Lopez and his 52 home runs?

This isn't the one you are talking about, but I guess the Yankees were on a strict budget back in the early 70's.

Actually, that is one of the ones I'm talking about. The Yankees used to use it to bring in their relievers.
However, there are other cars that looked like baseballs.

Your jokes are stupid and aren't even offensive.

Yeah, I was a kid then, and always wondered why the hell the relievers were too damn lazy to walk to the mound.

Thanks Conneticoin,

Where did you get that pic ? I thought those cars were really cool back then.

On a side note, joestalin doesn't annoy me. This board is used for intelligent conversation and trash talking.
Just take it in stride folks. Don't take it personally, it's all a bunch of bs a lot of times.

That wont be a car, it will be a fat man electric cart from wal-mart.

The pic is from one of the links on the website address you posted above.

My brother and I used to collect the little plastic replicas of the bullpen cars and the NFL "helmet cars".

i miss the bullpen car, i thought was cool, the one shaped like a baseball.

Gas prices got too high - the teams can't afford to run them.

Great pic you posted Connecticoin. That's one of the photos I was looking for. The Dodgers need that one back for sure. And maybe the Dodgers Car can be a dh for A. Jones...lol
