The Much Debated Thirdandlong Baseball Shirt Photo

[ElrodGrizzly]

CDA, I want you to know I am completely serious when I tell you that I would absolutely overpay for a team shirt from your interpretive non-binary dance team.

I'll see if the coach has any lying around. If you post a pic of you wearing it, it will prove once and for all that you were a member of the INBD Free Spirits despite there being no record of it.

Nobody will ever deny my Spirit Fingers

Just like Al Gore invented the internet, I invented photo shopping back in 1972. Little known fact.

Not to burst your old college try to be relevant, but that shirt was given to the players on the 1970 team.

The rest of the board sees how hard you and your buddies are trying to discredit the proof in this photo. Keep being irreverent, and irrelevant. They know that this proves I played varsity baseball for UM. I'm done commenting on this. My mission to prove Hoops is a liar has been accomplished.

You proved yourself a liar. Your “proof” of baseball is a photo of a tee shirt you got at the bookstore. If the coach gave you the tee, you would be listed in the Red Book. You aren’t. I suspect that much of what you have to have done in life is not listed anywhere either. “Don’t give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam.”

Awwwwww, did I get tackling dummy Jack's panties in a wad?

Mother wouldn’t let me play football because it’s too violent and barbaric. I did rhythmic gymnastics and interpretive non-binary dance instead. I never had gym class or a locker because I was home schooled until 20 years old

Do you have a generic cheap tee shirt to prove that?

Watch third string tackling dummy Jack spin it again. He can't handle being wrong.

Imagine thinking it is a good insult to call a guy a tackling dummy who is literally in a hall of fame.....

Hey asshat, that is steam from Old Faithful geyser. You obviously never played the game.

Why you callin' me ass hat? You still upset about how I showed you that MSU doesn't own the State in recruiting? Move on. Looked like a beach to me, sorry if I can't CSI a Kodak Insta-matic from 1972. I may disagree with your football opinions, but let it never be said you didn't have nice teeth.

Exactly. When I show people pics from my backyard, they often ask me if i have a lake close by. My reply is, "no, it's the highway". I live on a ridge and from the view can only see the ridge on the other side. :lol:

I like how turdandlong thinks a photo from 1970 can't be uploaded to a computer and photoshopped.

Sadly, through this process and now knowing his name, I started trying to figure out if there was any evidence he had been an athlete at UM. While I didn't find that, I now know a lot more about him than I meant to. The guy has all the mental capability to photoshop. It certainly would not be outside of his range of intellect.

Which, as much as I have been really annoyed with his inability to have a reasonable debate, is kind of a shock to me. But he would certainly be capable.

That said, nothing about this photo seems photoshopped to me. I am much more in the camp that he bought the t-shirt as a freshman. That would have been roughly in 1967, and the maroon would have been being discontinued at that time for the sales of sports gear. The maroon would still have been available here and there for sale with those colors. I am sure the baseball team was absolutely ecstatic for any revenue they would get, and any exposure from students wearing the shirts would be freaking awesome for the team.

I wouldn't be shocked if he told a lie that he was on the team, and then couldn't go back and admit his lie. We have all probably been there to some degree when we were kids, he just couldn't let this one go because it would be hard to admit once he landed his lovely wife. I'm sure that in real life he is a great person, and lovely to be around, and I'm sure we would get along fine to hang out. My guess, though, is that is the story.

Edit -- To be fair, because I have morals, I did just go back for another look at the red book with a glass of wine in hand. There is a CHANCE, that the only players listed were the ones who actually played in games. The teams are small, which is most likely just due to the team sizes Missoula was able to field at the time, but there is a small chance he was a guy that they let come to practice and be an extra guy to throw balls with or field in the outfield while guys take batting practice. Modern rosters carry 20+ players. Maybe he did hang out at practice and field balls. I would doubt that, as there are not a whole bunch of people out there claiming to be phantom members of the team, but I'm willing to give him a small chance that he was out there to shuck balls and the coach let him say he was on the team.

I wasn't really suggesting it was photoshopped. Just thought it was hilarious that he was trying to act like an old picture couldn't be. Lol

Oh. Well, glad I didn't make it weird. Cool. Cool cool cool....

My wife has met Third’s wife. My wife says Third’s wife would horrified to know all the stuff Third has said down on egriz.

Everyone that I know that played varsity baseball at UM appears in the Red Book.

IDK, I played slot receiver for the Griz from 1990-2003, and I have the pic of me in a Griz FB t-shirt in a grocery store to prove it.

Thirteen years to get through college ? Some people can't let go of that good time, only took me 10 years (counting my floating time).

 

[mthoopsfan]

Third’s coach said. I can’t list you in the Red Book because you never got into a game, but you can have this old tee shirt that was surplus at the Bookstore. It had been only been worn a few times by the coach’s son.

She would probably be appalled by his Weiner fetish.

Yep, but it was actually 14 seasons. They wouldn’t put me in the Red Book because they didn’t want to embarrass the other players and only had so much space anyway. Most of you probably don’t recall me playing because the coaches always said it wouldn’t be fair to the other teams if I dressed and played in games. My t-shirt pic in an Albertsons proves all of this, obviously.

 

[garizzalies]

Watch third string tackling dummy Jack spin it again. He can't handle being wrong.

I’m trying real hard not to put a Turd Ferguson hat on that lovely pic but you are making it difficult to resist

 

[mthoopsfan]

I will look for an old cheap war shirt in Mekong Delta today, to show I fought in Vietnam.

I think it’s rather obvious what needs to be done.

Coincidentally, my wife has met Ursa’s third wife. My wife say Third Wife would be horrified by things Ursa posts. If he ever, you know, did that kind of thing anymore.

With Ursa’s third wife, are we talking consecutive or concurrent?

Actually, 2 athletic hall of fames. And the remote control tackling dummy was invented at Dartmouth.
