Thanks for the memori...Re: Little League Home Runs<br /><br />Thanks for the memories! Jack Perconte was one of the Mariners I mimicked at the plate in my Seattle backyard. <br /><br /><b>Note:</b> The throws went down the <i>right</i> field line and involved the <i>right</i> fielder.<br /><br />The first, from 1984, involved throwing errors by Jack Morris, P, and Kirk Gibson, RF.<br /><br /><b>Also note:</b> The second, from 1985, involved throwing errors by Tom Brookens, 3B, and Alejandro Sanchez, RF. Jack Morris was again the pitcher, but the <i>third baseman</i> was the one who fielded the ball and threw it away.<br /><br /><b>Fun notes:</b> Jack Perconte choked up on the bat eight inches (or more when facing a hard-throwing pitcher)... He hit as many Little League Home Runs as Big League Home Runs in the Majors, with two each over seven seasons and 433 games... His 1984 LLHR scored two runs and was the game winner... His two 1985 dingers and the 1985 LLHR were all lead-off "home runs".DryFlyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353819681315704398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112562502076815845.post-71565060239659821662012-01-14T11:58:12.894-06:002012-01-14T11:58:12.894-06:00Diego pitched both openers for the Seattle Pilots ...Diego pitched both openers for the Seattle Pilots and the Mariners.Johngyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416011578421652629noreply@blogger.com
